From ToyTips.com
Kids love pretending to be older, even to be adults. With Milton Bradley's Life game, children not only can imitate some of life's most exciting moments like going to college and getting married, they learn to handle money and some of life's pitfalls like losing a job. To play the board game, kids follow Life's path, collect money, experience life's events and go good deeds to earn Life Tiles. At the end of the game, players add up their money and values of the Life Tiles to determine the winner: the person with the most amount of money left. Life is a game that makes children think by challenging them to learn and problem solve through life's bumpy road. Since this is a board game for two to six players, social interaction is a major benefit. Children will not only learn the game and its rules, they will discuss the game's outcome, which stimulates thinking and character development.

From the Manufacturer
Spin the wheel of fate and take a drive along the twisting roads families have enjoyed for more than 40 years! Do good deeds as you go through the game to earn Life Tiles and more money down the road!

Customer Reviews

Origional version was better.
We bought this for our 6 year old for Christmas. She really likes it and we have a lot of fun playing it as a family. However, I don't care for some of the changes that were made the the game to "up-date" it. There are lawsuit spaces where you sue another player and personally we are not real fond of the idea of suing others. I guess the bottom line is I liked the original game better.

Fun Family Game
This is a classic game for the whole family, the new design of the game board is great with it's 1 time set-up. I recommend this game for anyone who want's a fun game for family game night.

Wow, so many flaws
First of all I would like to ask those people that complains how this game doesn't give interaction between player when you get marry or children. What are you talking about? May be if you read the rule you would see that if you spin the wheel when you get marry u would get money depends on the number u get, secondly if u get a kid people pay you 5k. Sure its not like the old one, and of course there is so many flaws that comes with the rule. They don't have an explaination for everything, or at least what you suppose to do with the investment when to do it or when to use the spin to win. This can be very confusing for new players, but once you get it going you kinda get what you are doing. As for the wheel it still have that wheel of fortune like design, may be you just didn't press the plastic piece in there far enough. Though overall its an ok game with all the flaw, but the incompetent of the maker who can't even line up the right color for the right number is just plain stupidity, they reversed the side the color suppose to be which makes it totally different, and confusing for new players.
