Game Description
The Classic Career and Family Game!
Go to college, choose a career, get married, start a family, buy a house, and retire - the player with the highest net worth at the end of the game is the winner.
Sound familiar? It's The Game of Life, one of the top board games of all time, and now you can bring it to your computer!
It's just like the The Game of Life board game, only better! The Game of Life has lots of new and improved features you won't get with the board game, or with other, less complete computer versions.
Without long setup times, lost pieces, and tedious cleanup, you're free to have a great time playing!
Comes With TWO Excellent Versions - Classic and Enhanced!
For all you traditionalists out there, the Classic Board Game mode of The Game of Life plays exactly like the board game you love, down to the smallest details.
For a new Life experience, try out the Enhanced Game mode! Instead of receiving life tiles throughout the game, play "Life's Little Games," a variety of mini games which give you the chance to earn extra cash!
Should you be a little rusty, The Game of Life also includes a comprehensive "HELP!" section which tells you all about the rules for both versions.
It's The Game of Life, Brought to Life!
Everything about the game, from the board to the characters to the famous rainbow spinner, is illustrated and animated with 3D graphics.
Each square you might land on prompts a short and fun animated sequence. Even the background music fits perfectly - as you move along from the 1950s to the 2000s, it changes to suit the time period. Of course, you have the option to turn music and animations off should you choose to do so.
Experience All the Stops on Life's Winding Road
Begin by choosing your character's name and looks, and the decisions only get tougher from there! Will you become a lawyer, accountant, police officer, or perhaps an artist?
Play the stock market, buy auto or home insurance - it's all up to you. You can even exact revenge on other players when you land on a "PAYDAY"square!
The Game of Life has great replay value, because with all the twists and turns it has to offer, no two games you play will be the same.
Loved by Generations, It's the Definition of a Family-Friendly Game!
Just like the board game, you can play The Game of Life anytime with up to 5 friends and family.
UN-like the board game, you can also play The Game of Life anytime by yourself, against up to 5 computer players!
- "This game was awesome. It has great graphics. My family has the board game but we like the computer version so much better because when you are playing you feel like you are in the action. Also you get to pick your own unique person." - Alisha Mitchell, Game of Life Player
Simply put, The Game of Life is one of the best family games ever created, and it strives to retain every bit of the wide appeal and charm of the board game. It's great for almost any age, so give The Game of Life a try. You'll be lovin' life!

amazing game for the young and old, Jun 26, 2009
by R. Schwei (brooklyn, NY USA)
You start off by picking who you are and your car color. You can play by yourself, with a computer opponent or with friends, or a combo of the above. Animations, such as your spouse trampolining into your car and winking, add flavor to this game. You are given a chance to get a boring life card (in the classic game) or a chance to play a mini game. Just watch out for the skunk!!!! As you are playing you can click on your piece to see your family and house if you have them. Enjoy the fact that your kids bear a “striking” resemblance to you or your husband. To add spice you can take revenge on your opponents which allows for the “loser” to win. This is a great game for young and old. The cartoons are adorable and the music is appropriate without being distracting. My favorite part is that the winner gets “to fly off to parts unknown” as we are treated to a flight scene.
Great Game!, Jun 23, 2009

I’ve played this game since I was young and have always loved it. It is a great twist on the original board game with good graphics and hilarious scenes. It is a great family game.

This is the best game that I have ever played. It’s fun and the kids enjoy it too! I would recommend this to anyone who likes interactive games. This game has great graphics and choices for life. You can choose to go to college or take another route, and start your career. The enhanced play gives you more options to win money! You can take revenge on your competitors and make them pay your salary! I could play this game all day!
Love this game!!!, Jun 05, 2009

Hi,
My name is Hayyan Abdullah. I love playing The Game Of Life and it is the best game I have ever played as I love playing games of real life experience or in which there is a career and we have some tasks.{something to do]. This game has 50 levels of real life experience and is very addictive. Once I sit like for 60 minutes it’s like 60 days for me. I have not played the full version of it but it’s my dream to play the full version and enjoy all of the features. I recommend all of you gamers to experience the ultimate game of life. This game is also very similar to your beloved game virtual villagers so I say you should at least try playing this one. It is worth downloading and it does not require much time to download even if you are using an internet speed of 256 kbps. It’s good for everyone.
Love it, May 24, 2009
by Andrew Fowler (Calgary, AB CAN)
I have been playing the game of LIFE since I was a kid, and I have always loved it. Now that it is on the computer just makes it so much more easier to enjoy it. You don’t have to run out to the store just to find out that they may not have any. All you have to do is go home, sit down at the computer, and it’s all right there at your fingertips. And, as an added bonus, you get really funny little animations during it as well. Extremely fun game. I recommend for everyone.

The Game of Life Player Comments
- "The Game of Life is a fun, engaging game that can be played by the whole family. Why buy a board game that you can lose pieces to when the computer has it all. The graphics and the sound is fun and it will be worth buying!" - Julie from Australia, 5/5 stars
- "I loved this game so much! it took hardly any time to load and i bought it straight away! I have the bound game but i dont bother playing it anymore. The PC version is a million times better." - Livia Smith from London, England, 5/5 stars
- "I'm 22 years old, and a total board game freak. I love playing life, but it's normally hard to find a partner to play with. This PC version of the game is completely amazing. You don't need a partner if you don't have one and you can also play with more than one player as well. The graphics are tremendous and the music and everything about it is sooooooo much fun. I have to admit that I'm completely addicted to this game." - Felicia from Binghamton, NY USA, 5/5 stars
- "After my wife and I played a couple rounds in The Game of Life, we both agreed that it is a very entertaining game. The enhanced version of the original game made it an even greater experience. The A.I. in the game makes it feel like you're playing against an actual human. The game is simple to set up, takes virtually no time to install, and is incredibly fun to play. I recommend this game to everybody." - Erik from Richmond, KY USA, 5/5 stars
