“Game of life” is a simple game to play though it needs a little reading to understand the game. This game usually has 6 players but the newer version of the game allows at least 8 players. There are life tiles which all have a special achievement, a dollar amount and a secret message which will count to the total once you finish the game.
These life tiles are supposed to be dealt with carefully and are mixed up. Four tiles are carefully removed, without seeing them or looking at the message given on the tiles. The cards are supposed to be separated into 4 decks i.e. salary cards, Career cards, stocks and house deeds.
These are placed face down on the board. All players are expected to spin the wheel. The person whose spin is the highest will play first. Game play will then go in the clockwise direction. You are supposed to spin the wheel and then you will have a character or toy which you will move on the spaces on the board. The character will have to be moved according to the arrows on the spaces.
On your first term you will have to decide a career or go to college. Colleges will offer more career options and money but it takes time and sometimes you will have to undergo losses. When you make the choice to start your career you will place your character on “Start Career”. You even have a degree if you have chosen the option of college. There are other features like drawing of a salary card and career card.
You have to draw a card at random. Sometimes the card might mention degree required. You can even search for a job. The tile spaces have different colours of orange, blue spaces which mean you are not compelled to follow them, green spaces means payday, red spaces which include job search, getting married and buying of a house. Life spaces tell you all about family activities, community services and good relationships.
There are other traits like changing careers if you are fired or have a mid- life crises. If you land on the payday space you will have to collect your salary from the bank. Getting married spaces requires you to take a life tile and add another person to your life. When you land on the having babies spaces, you will have to add an extra peg to your character or toy you are using to move (mostly being a small car).
When you reach the space of buying a house , you are expected to draw 1 house deed and you are required to pay the bank in full. If you are short of cash, you can borrow from the bank. There are insurance, stocks and loans. To get this you, have to pay the banker some money. There are various insurances in the game. Bank loans are also allowed in this game.
This is only on the basis, that you do not have enough money to purchase something or if you have lost something. Last but not least, you can go into retirement and by doing this you will have to repay your loans to the bank. You are expected to place all the cards and then spin the wheel to attain retirement. Your salary card, career card, house deed etc are required.
