Abstract
In this research article, the authors created the game “Wealth” to illustrate the concept of designing and developing a financial game and the characteristics of board games suitable for fostering financial literacy in students. There were four stages of development: content and game mechanic development, game mechanic testing, content validity and communication of game elements evaluation, and usability testing. Experts in each field provided data for each test phase. The authors used observations, interviews, and group discussions to gather data. The data will be analyzed to determine the appropriate characteristics of the game. An expert will then test the prototype. The research revealed that the developed game offers various playing options, each with balanced scoring. The game's wealth creation-related content is accurate and exhaustive. The game's financial elements have a clear and reasonable relationship that can be comprehended with a knowledge of financial concepts as intended by the designer.
