If you look in the 0-130 Forum, Steve has posted a topic called bonus chapter with a link to it.

Hi fibejebe

Check your contract. You might find that the contract remains in force until either side gives 30 days (or in our case to my horror it was 90 days) notice, and there may be termination fees etc. involved. (We were hit for 2 weeks rent per property – which added up to $2400[!])

Hey Arty

Now I see how you get extra posts up!!! LOL.

The ENJOlady just mentioned this site, which I think is excellent. I did a quick search, but did not see if it had been posted already.

Jason you could always do a deal with your folks and buy it from them. Don’t know if you have any properties, but it could be a good start for you.

Personally I wouldn’t want to release my cash early to the Vendor. If things go pear shaped, you now have to fight them to get your money back!!

My understanding of getting a deposit bond involves having 5 times the required bond in equity. Is this the case when you have loan approval as well, or just when you have not yet done that, ie for off the plan purchases with loooooong settlements?

Hey Allan

Look in the Treasure Chest Forum – there are 181 pages of old posts in there.

Hey muppet – depends what we’re saving Arty from!! If it’s saving him from Pinky, it must be a charitable cause, and therefore tax deductible!![]

Yep, you can play it online – in fact there is a link in the game that will connect you. I am unsure if you have to pay for this privilege though (I’m guessing yes as I remember RK talking about having people subscribed at $20 per month). If you click on this link it will check to see if your game needs upgrading and do this automatically for you.

For comparisons with the board game – the e game is a lot ‘simpler’ in that you have to know where to put the various items, like income, mortgage, expenses etc., but that the computer will automatically do the addition and subtraction, and let you know when you’re out of the Rat Race. No more constant erasing and adding up. Yee Ha.

Playing on your own. Well, if you’re like me and find it hard to get family or friends to play – or it has to be organised in detail etc., then playing alone is much more fun, cos you can do it when you want – provided somebody else isn’t using the computer!! You play up to 4 computer players, or 5 humans, or 1 person making 5 lots of decisions if that’s the way you want to do it. You start recognising some of the computer personalities after a while, with some never taking bank loans, or buying stocks – even at $1 each!!

In regards to melbourne, can’t help, sorry. I’m in our nation’s capital.

Most definitely Leigh. From memory it’s about $199, and if you go to powwowevents.com.au you can order it. I will admit – I am addicted!! I have to work out which I want to do, catch up on the forum, or play the game. As I can play on my lonesome it’s a 50/50 split at present!!

Hey Native

I think so. If you enjoyed the board game then definitely. There has been a bit of a previous discussion on this topic though, so there will be more opinions in it.
