HOW TO PLAY
Each turn is one year. In college years, choose where to live, how many hours to work, and which scholarships to apply for.
The sticker price is what a college advertises. The real price is what you pay after grants (free money). Always compare real prices!
Working pays, but too many hours lower your grades (GPA). Some scholarships need good grades.
If your money runs out, the gap becomes a loan. Loans grow by 6% every year until you pay them back.
After graduation you earn a salary. Choose how much to pay back each year. Surprise bills can happen, and a credit card charges 20%!
Your score is your freedom money: savings minus everything you owe. Reach the goals for ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐.
