There are also a lot more opportunities to get kids and houses in the New Game of Life than in the original as well. Now you all have an equal shot of getting the best paying career and not have to worry about getting the exact number spin to land on the right square. I personally love the idea of how they use cards to pick the careers now. But when they saw the difference in the pay day prices of career vs college career jobs they quickly changed their minds. So at first, my kids didn’t want to go to college. If you are going to college you pay $100K before you even spin the wheel. That means it is a lot easier to do all the math in the game.Įveryone starts with $200K and before the game even begins you decide if you are going the college route or just starting with a job. Now everything is in the thousands with $10,000 being the lowest, then 50K, 100K, and 500K. Not to mention the rule sheet is a lot easier to breeze through, it is easier to find all the rules for each square too.

And it is really simple for my boys to understand. I like the new design of the board and game play actually goes a lot faster. It no longer takes 20 minutes just to get the game started. But the New Game of Life has quite a bit different from the original game.įirst of all the set up is a lot easier and faster. Like I said, this was a favorite of mine and I had played it many times growing up.

It was a lot of fun to see the excitement of someone who is playing the Game of Life for the very first time. And let me tell you it is a huge hit with my kids! This is the first experience my boys have had with this game.

Well, finally thanks to Hasbro we now have the NEW Game of Life. What’s New with the Game of Life Game Features? I have been wanting to get this game to add to our own family collection for quite a while but for some reason, I just never got around to it. One of my favorites as a kid was The Game of Life. Plus it is a great time to teach kids how to be good sports, be happy for those who win and be gracious losers as well. Board games are such classics that they always provide great entertainment for the entire family and offer good clean fun. I received The New Game of Life for review purposes. This post was made possible by Hasbro Games.
