Lots of holes in the rules! Has anyone figured out . . .
1 - What if you run out of Bank Loan chits? 2 - What are those little arrows on some of the spaces for? 3 - The rules say that in some cases you can get a double salary -- but they don't say which cases.
Monopoly, by contrast, has these questions all sewed up, not a hole or a situation they haven't thought of.
Really Great This game is really great. It teaches kids about life. So what is it's not very durable. Also some of you adults out there think it's not realistic. Well, news flash... ITS A GAME! My favorite job is the doctor. My only problem is the spinner. It's very hard to spin. But, if you can get over that, buy it!
Life Review I've had the game of Life in the past but needed a new one because of use. My friends, family and I have always enjoyed it. It's not too long of a game and fun for all ages.
Life Just Isn't Like This! LIFE has many ups, and downs, and this game doesn't stress it enough. Here you make a bad move, and you could turn out fine. Ultimately, the world is no piece of cake. Losing your job is a HUGE deal. Having a baby is no small undertaking, as in this game. Yes, it is just a game, but children could be mislead.
Life Changes Much like The New Spin on the Game Board After seeing reviews on here i remembered how much i enjoyed this game in my childhood sitting around friends playing this, having a movie on in the background and some chips to go along with it. Great little atmosphere the original held, this one is quite a throw off.
The game board itself took on a much more childish scheme and added multiple rules non existent and meaningless to older fans. The game still plays out similar, but the new ideals still give me a sour taste.
Overall though it is still arguably fun, it gives anyone a chance to win. The game is luck based in many degrees which gives a new out coming and winner almost every time.
You can select careers, obtain starter and final homes, and raise a family. The spinner is a little weaker this time around though. Many pitfalls await and many chances.
