Customer Reviews

The Game of Life-Fun Fun Fun
This is a great game. At first glance the game may seem confusing (there is quite a lot to grasp before and during playing the first couple of games) however, once you get into the swing of it the game turns out to be a lot of fun with lots you can do.

To start with you each pick a color and start them at one of the four colors of the board. Using the Life Pod (the electronic gizmo) you take you turn, you might be able to do a number of things; get a degree or PhD, get married, buy a house, play the lottery, even have kids and much more. The aim of the game is to gain as much Life Points and money to win.

This is a game for the whole family but I have to say I believe this version to be more tailored to older teenagers and even more suitable for adults but so long as you are supervising a child playing this it will be fun for them too.

Super- better than monopoly!
I had the original Game of life years ago when i was a kid and it was..... okaaaaay..... i suppose. This version is THE BOMB! Its really good. You can choose whatever path you like, there really are NEVER two games alike when you play it, it is so much more 3dimensional than your average board game. Play is actually quite easy to grasp- although you will have to keep the instructions handy on your first couple of games (instructions, which by the way are clear to understand and logically set out!). Definitely a family game. Definitely highly reccommended by me!

Rubbish
I had played The Game of Life years ago. I bought this new electronic version at Christmas instead of the old version as a result of reading the reviews I saw here. What a mistake! It is very very boring with an electronic pod that is no fun at all. My kids and husband had never played The Game of Life and thought I was mad to buy it. We played it twice and nearly lost the will to live. It is truely awful. Take my advice, buy the standard version of the game with the cars and money etc. it is great fun. I have just had to go out and buy the standard version so now I can throw away this pile of junk.
