The Game of Life

The Game of Life is quite realistic

I like The Game of Life because of the way that it takes you through the various stages of life. It brings you out at the teen stage where you can chose if you want to go to college or get a job.


This is quite realistic, because it lets you chose higher careers if you have a college degree (but you have debts from tuition) than if you don't. This is a good start and the game follows a similar "realistic" theme throughout.


Various real-life experiences and expenses continue through the game including getting married, having children, buying a house, car and house insurance, taxes, stocks etc. All exist in the game. This is very good and realistic.


The only drawback is that some of the rules aren't very clear, which can lead to confusion. Apart from that, it is a great game that lasts for a reasonable time and is entertaining throughout.
