WADDINGTONS RATRACE VINTAGE BOARD GAME

Product Information

The Rat Race was used as a title for a novel written by Jay Franklin in 1947 for Colliers Magazine and first published in book form in 1950. It is dedicated To those few rats in Washington who do not carry brief-cases. The word collective most of them can't bring themselves to use—except to describe foreign countries or organizations they don't work for—but they are keenly aware of how much more deeply beholden they are to organization than were their elders. They are wry about it, to be sure; they talk of the "treadmill," the "rat race," of the inability to control one's direction. It all came full circle when Thunderbird School of Global Management utilized Rich Dad Poor Dad, CASHFLOW Quadrant, and the CASHFLOW games in its curriculum for their entrepreneurship program. The very prestigious university is internationally recognized for its educational programs. Start playing around more and escape the Rat Race! The term "rat race" was used in an article about Samuel Goudsmit published in 1953 entitled: A Farewell to String and Sealing Wax~I in which Daniel Lang [2] wrote, There is a growing mountain of evidence supporting Dale’s claim through the Cone of Learning that we learn best by doing, such as playing games, rather than by listening and reading (lectures and books).

The best way to learn how to get out of the Rat Race is by playing the educational board game, CASHFLOW® Unsurprisingly, these aren’t uncommon comments that may be heard when preaching the importance of play as the most important way to learn, better than books, lectures, and tests. In the Rat Race there’s no room for play Those words are important because they map to an important development in education by Profesor Edgar Dale called “The Cone of Learning.”Dale’s Cone of Learning divided education into two areas, passive and active. According to Dale, the worst ways to learn something were passively, such as reading, lectures, etc. The best way to learn was to do so actively. The top active learning activity is doing the real thing. But just below that is simulating the real experiences.

In many cases, it’s the marketplace, not school, that is filling the void of this need for humans to learn by doing. The marketplace does it through games—a method that much of the traditional education system ignores. Parents were not receptive. ‘What’s the point of this’ and ‘What’s the use of play?’ were common refrains…” The earliest known occurrence is 1934. In reference to aviation training a rat race was originally a " follow-the-leader" game in which a trainee fighter pilot had to copy all the actions (loops, rolls, spins, Immelmann turns etc.) performed by an experienced pilot. From 1945, the phrase took on the meaning of "competitive struggle. [1]"There is a growing conviction among many of my friends in academic circles that the university today is no place for a scholar in science. A professor's life nowadays is a rat-race of busyness and activity, managing contracts and projects, guiding teams of assistants, bossing crews of technicians, making numerous trips, sitting on committees for government agencies, and engaging in other distractions necessary to keep the whole frenetic business from collapse. There’s a preconception that from the early years [children] are led into a world of textbooks, and there’s no room for them to play.”

Merle A. Tuve used the term rat race in an article entitled Is Science Too Big for the Scientist? [5]

In the Rat Race, you rely on other people to mind your business for you. And, as we can see from the example of those play labs in Bangladesh, those people often do not want you to play or have fun. They want you to work, work, work as hard as you can. Contained in the simple statement, “I am not a teacher, I am a play lab leader,” is great wisdom. The difference between telling kids what to do versus letting them learn from doing, including making mistakes, is the difference between creating sub-servient employees and innovative entrepreneurial thinkers. This is the very reason why the CASHFLOW board game was developed.

Zichermann talks about how the modern education system is fundamentally opposed to our nature as humans. Asking us to sit down and pay attention does very little for our education, when in reality we learn more by trying, making mistakes, and achieving. Experiencing the chemical benefits of the pleasure we feel when dopamine is released through our achievements helps us remember and learn far more efficiently.
