![]() ![]() The game ends after everyone has made it to the end. The spinner lets everyone gamble (or opt out), and the blue "scales" space is a lawsuit, which lets you sue another player for $100k. The purple "family" space means you had a new baby. The dollar sign is if you land exactly on a payday, and lets you play a mini game to get a salary bonus. The little color bar is for "Life tokens," little life experiences (often accompanied by a video clip) which you can trade in at the end of the game for cash. The "Stop" icons are where you stop to make some sort of decision: college or career, more college or family, risky path or easy path, and so on. For spaces that actually just have instructions on them (gain money/lose money) you just follow the instructions, and then tap on your car to end your turn.Ī lot of spaces have a little "app" logo on them, and those correspond to the icons to the right of the spinner. After you spin and move your car the appropriate number of spaces, you'll tap the type of space you landed on. There's a spin-off to see who goes first, and then the game begins. Once everyone has picked a car and a peg, everyone gets $10k to start (nice, right?) and puts their cars on the starting line. As you play, your avatar will appear on the screen and there are little animated bits as it acts out various parts of your life the avatar will also gain additional accessories or outfits depending on things like your occupation. īefore you start the game, each player gets to customize their peg avatar, adding hair or hats and an accessory.

The game board has a large empty space in the middle, where you'll stick on the rubber pads to support the iPad. However, if somehow you were completely new to the game and picked up this edition, you wouldn't really know much from the box other than that it uses your iPad and you get to watch America's Funniest Videos. I suppose at this point they just assume (probably accurately) that most people picking up this box will already know what the Game of Life is. Oddly enough, the box and instructions don't actually say anything regarding what the game's actually about. (You can read a few more of my thoughts about board games and real life here.) But the idea of winning the game by having the most money, using gambling as a major strategy for earning income, and having kids count for money at the end. that's like real life, according to my kids. I actually had a conversation with my kids about whether or not they felt this game was like real life, and they said, "sort of." The idea of going to college, getting a job, getting married and having kids. Prices and salaries have been scaled up, and the careers are modernized, but otherwise you're still making similar decisions. If you've played the old Game of Life, this is basically the same thing, with some updates. ![]()
