SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Super, the fintech company with modern money in mind, just launched The Game Of REAL Life, a rewritten rulebook to Hasbro's classic board game to highlight the financial realities Americans are currently facing. To celebrate the launch and sweeten life for some lucky folks this Thanksgiving season, Super is encouraging consumers to rip up Hasbro's original Game of Life rulebook for a chance to win. Super is giving away $50,000 to 2,000 lucky people who take home between $10 and $10,000 cash to be used for weddings, mortgages, student loans, childcare or a vehicle - steadily increasing costs that the antiquated rules of the original The Game of Life got all wrong.

Key Points: 
  • "More than 55% of Americans are uneasy with their level of emergency savings, so it's unlikely that we all start off life with $200,000 in the bank, as the game suggests.
  • To better reflect reality, Super fact checked and re-wrote the rulebook to reflect what's actually going on with Americans' money in 2022.
  • In protest of the game that set unrealistic expectations about real life, Super is giving Americans a chance to actually live it.
  • Super is backed by Steph Curry and has raised over $100MM USD and surpassed $1B in sales.
