The game comprises: indicia of a financial statement associated with each player; and indicia of a set of events and indicia of a set of game events for pseudo-random assignment to the players in turn. A mechanism for pseudo-randomly assigning the particular game event to the respective players is the also included. The game events potentially affect at least one of the passive income, expenses, assets and liabilities of the players, and include opportunities to generate passive income. The financial statement includes respective selectively revisable visual indicia of units of passive income, units of periodic expenses, assets and liabilities, and preferably units of periodic earned income, ascribed to the associated player. Each of the visual indicia has a respective predetermined associated visual aspect (e.g., shape and/or color) associated financial are being represented. The number of units of each of the visual indicia are selectively revisable to reflect the effects of game events.
