I was really wanting to love this game. Life is one of my top two games I love to play. I was glad to see actual money was involved, not some card system that kept tabs for you. I like the math skills integrated when my kids play. The cars and people/pets updated look are super cute. Otherwise it was a disappointment. You just keep getting money, money, money. Nothing bad ever happens - all risk is basically gone. Unless you pick the “path of doom” that’s one little stretch of board. Even when you “lose” money on an action card, you still get $100k at the end of the game for every single action. The increase in starting money also means the college path isn’t as risky - no loan needed. Salaries are directly tied to positions. So it’s actually advantageous to go to ...

So it’s actually advantageous to go to college in this Life edition. The houses are all pretty great or amazing. No shacks or funny junk houses as options. I don’t know, the whole vibe of the game is just so different than the original, I was pretty disappointed. No hill or mountain ridges to give some visual variety to the game board. I was hoping this was going to replace my 30yo board but I doubt it. Also don’t like that it’s only 4 players. The older version has six players.

I know it's hard to produce a good game but Hasbro has years of experience and unfortunately has let themselves down here. Instructions do seem confusing at first, but once playing the game you realise they aren't. It's actually such an easy game to play but it can be over within 10-15 minutes! And the spinning wheel keeps flying off, very frustrating. It's purely for kids, adults shouldn't play but should just stick to being the banker, that way he/she can make the game play last longer, such as by directing the game of play in a different direction or by choosing different cards. Overall my 6 year old son and I are extremely disappointed. It cost so much to buy and there isn't a great deal to get excited over. My son doesn't want to play it much, he's happy to ...

Stick with the original 'Game Of Life', so much more fun for the family. SJD

Wow, this game really takes me back. I haven't played it since my childhood and it was nice to have this bit of nostalgia with a new generation. The game play is pretty much similar, however the game pieces are a LOT smaller than what I remember, which is nice, less use of plastics and other non essential materials. The directions are super easy to understand, even the kids can play this game without the adults, unlike the old school version of the game. The spinner/bank/card holder is easily attachable and detachable from the corner of the gameboard. The small bonus I liked this with was the small plastic bag that was included for storing the game pieces, it was a nice little touch that I appreciated. I can't wait to play again!

I bought this when it was on sale because I didn't own the Game of Life and wanted a copy. I thought this version sounded fun because it adds pets. I know there are a lot of complaints about this version but personally, I really enjoy it! Yes, the money amounts are high. Yes, the quality is not quite the same as it used to be. Yes, you don't really have to pay as much back to the bank as you used to. But I found it to be a really fun version of the game. My husband and I are in our 30s and we've played the game by ourselves twice. It's fun going through all the variations. The first time we played, we took opposite paths through the whole game. One of us went to college, the other did not. One tried for kids, the other did not. It was fun and exciting to see how ...

One of us went to college, the other did not. One tried for kids, the other did not. It was fun and exciting to see how everything played out. I absolutely love that there are so many choices. In the end, the game was really close which made it more fun. I think that makes the game even more fun for the younger kids, because even when you haven't landed the best job and you don't win the spin to wins, you still have a good shot at winning the game. No game is fun when someone is a runaway winner. This version of life makes it a lot harder to have a runaway winner.
The board game is great for all the family and provokes discussion about the choices one has along the journey of life. The play monies are paper notes and easy to handle. The spinner is a welcome change to the dice used in a lot of board games. However, the plastic cars used to travel along the board are too small and the tiny "people" are very hard to poke into the holes in the car. One needs oh! so tiny nimble fingers. Overall a great game and more interesting if played with three or four people.
This game is so watered down from the original and it’s awful. Every action card is the same format, no multiple retirement homes, no real interesting decision points. I’m disappointed that over the years this game has become so much less interesting and enjoyable. They try to modernize it by adding career paths like “vlogger” instead of actually making the game have interesting turning points for better and worse. The game board is also much shorter, you can probably finish this game in a good 20 minutes or less with two people.
If you want to spend an hour of your life mildly amused and dying inside, buy this game. If you want to feel frustrated and hate yourself for ever suggesting playing this game, buy this game. If you want to spend 10min at the end of your trip through hell that is this game, doing math, buy this game. Having played it with my two brothers and my Mum we have unanimously decide to give it to the op shop. I feel sorry for the poor souls who against their better judgement should buy this game. If you do decide to buy it, please never play it, the only thing it's good for us some spare monopoly money, Monopoly being a much better game.Yours painfully,Nunyabuisness
This game was a staple of my and my daughter’s childhoods. She’s a young adult now, and when she came to visit recently, she wanted to play games and remembered this one so fondly, she specifically requested it. If you were a fan of the old school set up, prepare to be disappointed! The board folds into 4 sections (which made our on-the-bed game play a bit tricky), and the spinner is no longer a part of the board. She also missed the other “3-D” aspects of the game: no grassy plastic hills to drive over, no buildings to attach. The cars and pegs are still there, and there are gender neutral pegs, which is a nice touch. (In addition to adding a peg for a spouse or child, you can add friends and pets.) There’s also a weird lil update with investment cards: you choose ... MoreThis game was a staple of my and my daughter’s childhoods.

There’s also a weird lil update with investment cards: you choose a sector to invest in, and every time a player spins the number associated with your sector, the bank pays on your investment. We mostly ignored this option. Maybe my memories of the game have the patina of age and it was never that great, but game play was short, interest was low, and I’ll probably end up donating the game,
not fun anymore. i liked the old version so much better. thought this would be the same but they changed it so much it is actually boring to play now. too many actions of people joining the car . the board games seems shorter as well. i wanted to return the game but just having a baby i wasnt able to return it to the store. i wouldve actually rather saved my money and bought a different game if i knew they changed it . sad because this used to be one of my favorite board games growing up.
