About the Game
The Game of Life is a board game based on the classic board game of the same name. 2 to 6 players (local and internet play is supported, as well as computer players) will compete against each other to retire with the most money, traveling around the game board to see where life takes them. Player customization is included; players can set the car they drive and their appearance. Games can be saved and loaded.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Enhanced mode replaces the LIFE tiles with "Life's Little Games", which are gameshow-style minigames. (For example: uncover spaces with hidden money, but if you hit a skunk space, all winnings will be lost; or move a trash can to catch falling balls.) It is possible for these spaces to be worth double, triple, or more. It is also possible that the winnings can be taken from another player instead of the bank.
Modes & Ways to Play
Classic mode is designed to be a faithful recreation of the board game.
Player support includes 1-4 Players.
Presentation & Atmosphere
Options include animations that play when moving or landing on spaces, as well as the narration and background music.
