The Game of Life
I prefer the rules of the original version over this new one. However, the new version is still a fun game that depends on luck. The only thing you could argue was not dependent upon luck, I guess you could say was choosing your career path at the beginning. I find that going to college is always the worst thing to do in this game, especially due to the fact that later in the game you may get lucky and have the chance to choose a better career and salary card, or steal from another player.
I like to implement some of the older rules, such as spinning for presents.
Overall, it’s a great game for families with young children.
