FinGriot: Money Moves

A fast, funny card game about earning cash, surviving surprise bills, and building wealth one smart move at a time.

FinGriot: Money Moves turns personal finance into a quick, replayable card game for families, classrooms, youth programs, and anyone who has ever said, "I had a plan, then life happened."

Why We Made This Game

Money is usually taught in one of two ways: either too late, or too boring. FinGriot was built to change that. This game gives players a simple way to practice everyday financial decisions without shame, jargon, or lectures. You draw cards, make choices, build wealth points, protect your resilience, and try not to let grocery shocks, car repairs, and inflation knock you off track.

It is not about pretending money is easy. It is about making the conversation easier.

How the Game Works

1.  Choose an investor personality and collect starting Griot Bucks.

2.  Move around the board or through the round sequence depending on the final version.

3.  Draw Stock, Market News, Strategy, and Lesson cards.

4.  Buy assets, collect dividends, manage cash, and respond to market events.

5.  Use portfolio mats to track choices and net worth.

6.  Finish with the strongest financial position and earn bragging rights as the Money Moves champion.
