Hasbro Gaming - The Game of Life Board Game, 2-4 Players, Ages 8+

My eldest recommended the game & we bought it as a gift. Really nice -quality board game, providing fun gameplay whilst trying to do financially well as well!

The Game of Life is one of our favourite family board games. We absolutely love playing it together, and it’s always a fun way to spend an evening as a family away from screens! The game is easy to understand, so everyone can join in and it keeps things interesting as you move through different life choices like careers, money and unexpected events. It always leads to laughs and a bit of competition, which makes it really enjoyable. It’s a great mix of luck and decision-making, and no two games ever feel the same. Overall, it’s a brilliant family game that we keep coming back to again and again!

My girls 9 and 11 have loved playing this game. Was a favourite of mine as a kid and as much fun as I remember. Easy to follow game instructions and a simple premise. Fun for all the family. Only downside is the spinner isn’t attached to the board like the original game and tends to move which is annoying.

We enjoyed playing this game. Quite a lot to remember but you can remember if you play often enough. Can play a few different routes but if you always choose same route can be a bit samey.

Birthday present for a family member good value

I had this game as a child and got it for my daughter. We love playing this as a family and always causes much hilarity with jobs everyone chooses and filling the cars up with kids and mates. Quicker to play than Monopoly and lots of fun.

Great classic family game

This was my wifes favourite game when she was a kid so made for a good birthday present. We all enjoy playing together as a family. It gives the kids a good lesson in all the bills we have to pay!!

Perfect present for my son who loves board games!

Great game for family night.

Life is among the family’s most loved games.

I’ve had The Game of Life since I was a child, and this is my third version of the game. I was really looking forward to getting this updated edition with coloured pegs, updated action and career options, etc. While some aspects may be an improvement, overall I’m very disappointed with this version. The quality of the spinning wheel is below par, as is the way it attaches to the board. It keeps detaching, doesn’t spin smoothly, and when it does, it often gets stuck. In addition, the red and black spaces seem to shift out of place all the time. My ESL students felt the same, and we ended up using the spinning wheel from my old version instead. It’s been a bit of an anti-climax, and after using it in a couple of classes this week, I’m considering returning it. It’s a real pity that, across the three versions I’ve owned, the overall quality seems to have declined.

We have had a lot of laughs with this game from age 13 to 85!
