The Game of Life Board Game, Fun Family Game for Kids & Adults, 2-8 Players, Ages 9 Up

We were initially not sure about it but eventually purchased and it was a good decision. It’s a fun game which can be played with a group of friends or family and will certainly keep you hooked with the many fun surprises along the way. Highly recommended if you are looking for a fun game.

After playing this on the ipad - I bought this as a gift for an adult who enjoys board games. This one is a bit more unique in the sense that its more of a memory, analytics and strategy game based on assumptions and deductions. The more players, the more interesting it becomes. Basic nutshell of the game is to solve a murder mystery - 3 cards are taken away at the start of each game with a suspect, a weapon and a location. The rest of the cards are distributed equally amongst players as clues - your role is to "guess" which 3 cards were taken away by a process of elimination. You guess on the other 2 based on the location you move to on the board - if another player has the card for the items you guessed, they need to share it with you. This goes on till you identify the cards that are missing - effectively the 3 that were removed at the start of the game. The only thing we couldn't figure out was how to move pieces on the board - the instruction manual was woefully silent on the way you can or cannot move out of rooms, with added complexity of shortcuts - we just assumed it was based on the shortest path through the tiles from each entrance. I am pretty sure there is a tutorial somewhere on this aspect. Along with a board and 2 dice, you get a note sheet that you can record your findings and the results. This is pretty useful as you do not need paper or diaries for each of the participants. While the games says 8+, I'd consider this to be more fun for older kids (13+).

Good for 4 players and thinking

One of the never being old games , the materials are thick and durable

great one on one board game to get competitive with, it’s original!

I got it as a gift so I can't provide a proper review of this. This is the original one from Hasbro though. Came in well undamaged. I have the original one and is a great board game. Guess there is very little difference in this version.

the principle of the game is fun, but if you have small group like 3 and less it won't be fun and easily predicted

A great fun family game
