To me in CF 101 is not about winning but what have you learn whilst in the game. That is the place where I test my new strategy and the result I got from it. How other players co-operate with you , when you give them an offer on a win/win approach did they bite. If they don't go for it figure out WHY ?.Than I will use it to offer it to the real market. I like everyone else took the game as a competition trying to win the next players but through all these years(12years) involving in it I realize it is not about winning but what did I do right. When I made an offer why the other players is not taking up the offer.
Cashflow 101 is a good place to test your approach in a safe environment as only play money are involved. End of the days ,I realize that it is not about the board game but more about what is in your mind and your approach..
It's understandable that you would like to have others to take your offers if your assets is the good one. That's why it's a win/win situation through negotiations.
Think about it another way,
if your assets is mistakenly bought previous time, and you know it is not as good as you have thought of, as in this case, you would like to have others to take your offers as well. Unless you intend to keep the bad assets and accept the losses due to your mistake.
In real life, do you think everyone is buying all the GOOD ASSETS? And not even 1% mistake?
In the games, I guess the cashflow will keep on reducing if it is a bad asset, but lack of options that you would like to sell it if there is any offer for every rolling of the dice for all the assets you have as the game assuming that we are not going to sell it that soon. But do we get an option to put an offer to sell it as we like?
A concept of monopoly is inside, that is waiting for your turn. 4 green house 1 red hotel until your turn to speak. By the way, in monopoly every assets is good one right? Do we sell it and exchange with other players through negotiations?
But do we really wait?
