The Game of Life - Tips & Strategies

I’ve made the mistake of going to college and then going to night school and getting a salary DECREASE. Just choose one or the other.

Every time we play the game, it becomes obvious who is gonna win – the one with the most Life cards. Everything else becomes moot – salary, kids, etc – when compared to the big payouts in the Life cards! So just give them a miss and try it without. Games are much closer that way.

then have the player who lands on a lawsuit space, just lose money instead. This only if you have issues with suing other people.

When I was younger the Game of Life wasn’t an often played game, my neighborhood friends and I were busy playing sports or video games, roaming the neighborhood, playing man-hunt or very very awkwardly interacting with girls. Well, every once in a blue moon, usually on crumby rainy days, my friends and I did play, and every time we did, the only path to victory in the game was to fill your station wagon with as many kids as possible. Clearly, having kids meant you were getting some action, and the more kids you had, the more action you were getting. I look back on it and have to laugh at the ridiculousness of it, but it seemed revolutionary back then! Then again, having recently played the Game of Life over Thanksgiving and being completely frustrated with the game (there’s a reason it’s currently scoring a 5 rating…) I’m starting to wonder if my old way was the more fun way…. 🙂
