I bought this game to play with my significant other because we both enjoyed playing it as kids. I noticed that it was an updated edition from the last time I played Life. He and I played once and we probably will not play again unless we make modifications to the gameplay. Every encounter in the game is positive. Part of the fun of the older editions is that you take risks, gain and lose money, can have a dead-end career with a lousy paycheck, and discover what happens when you don't have auto insurance and get in a car accident. However, they've stripped out all of the negatives. There is no auto insurance, there are no low-paying careers, and you never lose money; nothing bad ever happens.
What is this teaching children? In my opinion, the game should have gone in the opposite direction. There used to be spaces immediately after paydays where you had to pay taxes; they shouldn't have been removed. You should also have the option of putting a percentage of your paycheck towards your retirement when you get paid and invest it to have a higher amount of money when you retire at the end of the game.
Everyone knows that Life isn't fair, however, this game teaches kids that Life is fair and that's not a good thing.

Kids Have SpokenExperiencing life's key moments and making independent choices is even more fun with careers picked by kids, for kids. What choices will you make? Will you choose the longer college path toward a high-paying job or choose a trade right away to get paid sooner? Will you express your creativity as an inventor or dancer, or become a veterinarian to help animals? Whatever you choose, you never know what ups and downs you'll encounter along the way. |
Choose Your PathIf you land on an 'Action' space, pick an Action card and get ready for some unexpected excitement. You might get to brag about a book you just wrote and collect 40,000 dollars from the bank. On the other hand, you could be sailing around the world and have to pay the bank a whopping 50,000 dollars. Landing on a "House" space will have you deciding whether to buy, sell, or do nothing. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to land on a 'Payday' space and collect a salary. You might think you're making the right decisions, but spend your money wisely on your life's path or it could become your road to ruin. |
