The game starts with your little blue or pink peg (dependant on whether youre a boy or girl) sitting in a coloured car. This is your playing piece ...  Read the complete review

My sister and I loved this game as children and I have not been able to part with my copy yet, so still play it occasionally. The game has a basic role and move dynamic and there aren't that many decisions to be made but somehow it still manages to be very entertaining. The large board consists of a snaking path through life with three ...  Read the complete review

The game of life is raucous fun for all the family! The general idea behind the game is to collect money and life points by travelling round four zones on the board. Initially every player gets a job card, with all jobs you start on the same wage, buut the top wage and how fast they go up differs substantially. You can chose to travel ...  Read the complete review

Game Of Life one of the board games I remember from my childhood, when the whole family would sit down together on a Sunday, after Bullseye and Sunday Dinner, and play a game whether it be cards or one of the many board games we had. History ********** The game was originally created in 1860 by Milton Bradley, and was ...  Read the complete review

I received this game as a xmas pressie about 20 something years ago but it is still all in working order and has been played over and over again throughout the years - starting with myself and then with my own children as they have grown up. Games like this seem to have taken a back seat these days since the arrival of the many dvd ...  Read the complete review

Game of Life, manufactured by MB Games, was one of my favourite games as a child and I still enjoy the game today. The rules are very simple and easy to grasp making it a good game to open and play straight away without having to wade through a thick instruction booklet. However, shock of shocks, this game is not ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION Shopping round for Christmas presents, I was finding it quite hard to find suitable gifts for my seven year old daughter. My Mum was buying her several DVDs, she was getting the only CD she wanted (The Cheeky Girls album!), she has no more room for cuddly toys and apparently, Barbie is now a no-no at her vast age! So ...  Read the complete review

If boredom could be grown, then the seeds of this despair would be fully formed boxes of the Game of Life. A simple game so soppy that people are stereotyped into boys being blue and girls being pink. All this whilst the whole family fits into a car, which motors around the board. As the name suggests, the whole board game could be a ...  Read the complete review

I can remember as a child, sitting around a table at my Gran's playing Game of Life. The 1980's seemed to be an era for playing board games (along with poor music and bad hair styles). Game of Life is a fun board game suitable for all the family to play. It's simply a game of life, you start as a teenager with a car (of any ...  Read the complete review

As the title suggests, this game is about life, and as such, you are out to do various real-life things like go to University, get married e.t.c. You choose a career, get a salary (which you collect each turn). You can collect status symbols like villas and art collections, buy life insurance, whatever. At first, you may think this sounds ...  Read the complete review

This game is really good on CD-ROM, the aim of the game is to make money, get married, buy a house and eventually retire. Will you retire at a country estate or millionaire's mansion? The game has 100's of animations, loads of different musical sound tracks. Everything is really bright and colourful, so it would be really appeasing to ...  Read the complete review

I had the Game of Life bought for me when I was small by my Grandma and Grandad for Christmas, and it is still going strong today. My kids have learned to love the game as much as me. The idea of the game is to choose between taking the business route or going to University there are pay day squares all round the board, after this comes the ...  Read the complete review

It’s not really an adult game like Trivial Pursuit but is much more suited to the family. I would never dream of playing the Game of Life with a group of adults but it is hugely effective in keeping a group of children happy and interested for an hour or two however it’s probably best for older children because it’s a bit ...  Read the complete review

Another good board game for family night, The Game of Life is a winner. While out shopping a few years ago when i was married, now divorced, I decided it was time to add more games to the household. I searched and searched and ended up buying The Game of Life and Monopoly (again). I had read several reviews about The Game of Life ...  Read the complete review
