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!

Hi, my fiancé and I started playing this game 4 weeks ago and we are still enjoying it as if it was the first time playing it! It is entertaining, fun and you can play with more than one player! If I were you, I wouldn’t at all think twice about buying this, it is simply amazing .

I downloaded this game (the free version) and I absolutely loved it! The animation is good and there are a bunch of new twists, unlike the actual board game. If I could buy this I definitely would. This game is epic, I say go for it!

I think this game was pretty fun. I played it for I don’t know how long. I really enjoy getting married, buying a house, and choosing your own job. I’ve played a lot of other versions but I would have to say that this is by far the best. Enjoy the game 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
