Thrive Time for Teens Board Game

 I am seriously behind posting my review of this game and it's completely my own fault. I've had the game on my shelf for two months now. My problem is that I only have one child with whom I think this game will make good sense for and all of our game playing time lately has been with all four girls. I'm looking forward to the older girls having two weeks home from school and am pretty sure there will be an opportunity to break this one out with M-almost-12 and try it out.

So in lieu of my own personal review, I will let the game speak for itself and hopefully you will get a good feel for what they are about and why I was interested in trying it out myself!
Thrive Time for Teens focues on teaching kids the concepts of smart spending, going to college, giving back, buying a car, using credit cards, and starting a business.
In their own words, "In this reality game, teens start in high school and have part time jobs. They will be faced with money and life decisions like buying cars, managing expenses, giving back to their community, paying for college, using credit cards, buying stocks and starting businesses.

The winner is the teen that not only generates income and makes positive financial decisions, but also effectively manages their time and does good for those around them."
Here's a video of the game in action:

Disclosure: I received this game two months ago and still haven't managed to play it with my kids. It isn't because I haven't wanted to. It's because our weekends have been completely insane this fall. This is not the fault of Thrive Time for Teens and their game still looks awesome to me.  See my proper disclosure statement here.
