Perfect family game
Another prime deal so I think it was around $8. Great price.My family loves The Game of Life. This one is cute as you can get a dog or cat. The cards and board feel cheaper than the original game we have (early addition with the 3D houses). This one doesn’t have the 3D houses and the spinner attaches to a corner. That was my one gripe as it kept coming off which was just a bit irritating.The game is a little different than the others, like you don’t have to buy a house, and stock numbers are including with your career card. There are different paths for starting a family or not.My favorite part is on the action cards there are talking points. Like what type of car would you buy? Or describe your favorite amusement park ride. In a world full of technology and kids lacking the ability to day dream or create original ideas, I love this part. It starts a family dialog.The game was played in about an hour, with interruptions. Our youngest player was 8.

Great update to the original
Great update to the original. The action cards have an extra little activity that you get to do. For example one card you visit the Great Barrier Reef and you have to describe a sea monster that you saw. Another card you show your skate boarding moves. The pets are fun. They did away the 3D pieces that would always pop out and make the board bulky except for the spinner.Cons: Still has the same spinner that rarely work right. Box has a 4" hole where the spinner sticks out. You have to make sure all pieces are bagged so you don't loose them. The flow of money is ridiculous. I don't expect it to be realistic but maybe not so outrageous. You get paid 30k to go on a ski trip and you have to pay 10k when your pet eats your homework.All and all it is a great family game. We have have 2 boys 9 & 11 and they both had a great time.

Not your old game of Life but just as fun
Interesting new version of the game of Life. Doesn't play the same as the game of Life I had as a kid but it was just as fun. This is our third game of Life and each play a little different. My daughter loves the addition of pets to the game. Gives it an extra little quirkiness to the game and keeps it interesting. Easy assembly since you don't have to place all of the buildings on before you play. I wish they would add $20,000 dollar bills back to the game again. It gets annoying using so many $10,000 bills for change but that is just a small annoyance. Overall very happy with the game and the new gameplay.

Big hit
My unspoiled grandkids (bragging) still ask for board games so YES. They love it. Sturdy, fast delivery.

Fun, but prefer the version from my childhood
I always enjoyed playing this game as a kid. I was a little disappointed to see they got rid of the crappy jobs and houses. It made the game more realistic in my opinion. I was looking forward to the broken down trailer and other things. I also don't like that you automatically start with a pet. I thought you would be able to get a pet if you wanted, not make it so you can't have as many kids. I do still like the game but prefer my childhood version.

Still fun after all these years.
Love this game. Used to play it when I was younger and decided to start playing it again. It's fun, simple and had some changes since back in the day. Now you can add pets to your family, and choose if you'd rather go to college or get a job right away. It's a kids game, but I'm an adult, and I play it with my boyfriend. Granted we make up our own rules lol, but it's still fun to play. The pets and people are made much cheaper and flimsy since back in my day, but what isn't these days?

Classic family fun
Santa brought this to my 11 year old son, who has been watching game of life videos on YouTube. He screamed when he opened it. This was a childhood favorite of mine as well, so I was equally as excited. Our whole family has had a ball with this game. The addition of pets and spin it to win it is a lot of fun too. I’m still not sure why you earn money for kids at the end, instead of losing money once you have kids, but that is all part of the fun. Great purchase at a great price. :)

Great quality, quick delivery!
This is a really good game! We already had this game before, but the only difference was it was the older version without pets, etc. We were going to buy it from Meijer or Walmart, but later decided to get it online, and we DON’T regret it. Everything was in tact when the package came to our house. The corners weren’t chipped on the box of the actuall game, and everything was really crispy inside. The only negative thing I have to say it that it’s basically like the same as the one we had before, but that’s not the sellers fault. Other than that, everything was fine!
