What five hours at the table give a group
One table, up to eight participants, one paper ledger each, a Trainer and a Banker in the room for the whole session. Participants work through roughly forty years of adult financial life in one sitting: a first job, borrowing, insurance, a missed payment, a change of career, a move to another country. Each decision is written into the participant’s own ledger, and the debrief at the end is each participant reading that ledger out loud and saying what each choice cost. The session produces no scores and no reports about a student; the ledger belongs to the participant.
The Trainer facilitates the whole session, from the briefing to the last minute of the debrief. Every part of it matters: nobody can say at which move the insight will come, because it depends on the player and happens with the player.
What one seat buys, drawn to scale
1 Briefing 30 min · 2 First half 2 h · Break · 3 Second half 1 h 45 · 4 Debrief 30 min
The price goes furthest where the group keeps going: a club that meets across the school year, a school team for the Canadian national stage, or a whole table for a family or a team.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Life Capital session cost?
From 1 November 2026: CAD 200 a seat, CAD 150 each for a pair, CAD 1,000 for a whole table. Until 31 October 2026: CAD 150 a seat, CAD 100 each for two or more. Scenario-based corporate sessions are priced individually, depending on the client's task.
Is the price per person or per table?
Per seat, except the whole-table rate. A table seats 5–8 participants, 8 at most, and each seat is booked on its own.
Who can book a seat?
Teens from 14 and adults. A parent and a teenager can book a pair at CAD 150 each; a family, a team or a class group can take a whole table of up to eight players for CAD 1,000.
Why is there no published price for a school?
Because the figure follows how many tables run at once and the travel to the school, and those differ for every school. Name the grade, the group size and the month, and the reply carries a number with its breakdown.
What is included in a quote?
The Trainer’s time, the kits at the tables and the materials the session needs. Lead time, cancellation terms and travel for the Trainer are set out in the written offer.
How is the date set?
Dates are set in the reply to your enquiry, against the rooms and Trainers free that month, and a date is held once the reply names it. Open sessions in Ottawa run five hours from 13:00, usually at a weekend. Lead time and cancellation terms are in the written offer.
Is there an online option?
No. Life Capital runs in person only: the board, the cards and the money are on a real table, and each player keeps a paper ledger.
Can someone else pay for a group of teenagers to take part?
Yes, and that is how several of the tournaments happened. For Vienna 2024, Rotarians from several countries paid for the teenagers to travel and stay.
