Pdf the game of life

The version of the game proceeds as follows:. There are still two routes at the beginning of the game, now labeled Career and College. Selecting the College route now places the player in debt from the very start; however, the probability of landing a better job and a higher salary is much better than selecting the Career route. If the person lands on a "trade a salary card" space, the player had the option of "trading up". At the shared end of both paths, the player's career and salary are decided by chance.

If a player chooses Career , the shorter path is taken. At its end, one occupation card and one salary card are chosen.

The player continues the game with that specific career and salary unless another event affects the player. If a player chooses College , two Promissory Notes must be taken from the bank for tuition, and the player must take the longer path which in this version is also more "dangerous" than the Career path. However, at its end, three Career cards and three Salary cards are chosen, and the player may choose one from each set after looking at them.

As in the s version, most of the spaces on the game board are orange, and their instructions are only followed if they are landed on. The "Pay Day" spaces are green and impact the player when landed on or passed over. Red spaces now always signify a major life event e. The "decision" spaces are now blue, and if landed on, the player can choose to follow them or do nothing.

Most of the spaces requiring the player to pay money to the bank have a symbol next to them, each of which corresponds to that on one of the career cards. If any opponent has that career card, the money is paid to that opponent instead of the bank. If the player himself has that career, no money is paid. A major change to the game in this version is the collection of "LIFE Tiles" as one progresses through the game.

Every time a player lands on a space marked with the LIFE logo they collect a LIFE tile, a small rectangular game piece with the "LIFE" logo on one side and an event on the other along with a sum of money collected from this accomplishment.

These also replace the previous "collecting presents" rule. On each of these tiles is a major life event e. Everest , curing the common cold , building a better mousetrap , etc. The tiles are not revealed until all players have "retired", at which point they are flipped over and their total is added to the player's money total.

If at any time the draw pile of LIFE Tiles is depleted, a player may steal one from any active player remaining in the game, or certain "retired" players see Retirement section below. One of the red spaces in the game is buying a house. From then on, homeowners' insurance may be purchased for a price listed on the house deed.

In this version, there are two insurance policies automobile and home owners' that prevent the player from being affected by a number of "tragedy" spaces throughout the board. Upon purchasing stock, the player chooses a stock card numbered between 1 and 9. A player may only hold one stock card at a time unless landing on a space marked "Stock Market Zooms", at which point a free stock card is chosen. Likewise, "Stock Market Slumps" costs the stockholder one stock card.

Each number has only one stock and will not be available to others as they are being purchased. When a player reaches the end of the game, there are two options to "retire". One is to place their car at Millionaire Estates largely unchanged from the previous version , or, may retire at Countryside Acres previously the "Bankrupt" space. Each has its benefits and risks. If a player thinks he or she will end the game with the most cash, the best option is to retire at Millionaire Estates.

After all players have finished the game, they count their cash on hand; whoever has the most cash receives these four tiles in the rare occurrence of a tie, they are split. However, if other players are still playing the game and the LIFE Tile draw pile is empty, these players may still steal tiles from anyone retired at this space.

If a player is not confident in the amount of cash on hand, they may retire to Countryside Acres. In , a CD-ROM version of the game was produced by Hasbro which added computerized moves and short animations to the game. An option was also given for players to compete in games over the Internet. Players retired at Countryside Acres were presumably immune from being selected. Also the routine for retiring changed. Retired players still spun the wheel on their turn, this time to gain or lose money.

The difference between Countryside Acres and Millionaire Estates is that the former only had one space in which the player could lose money, but the payouts were lower. The latter offered bigger payouts, but also had more numerous and severe penalty spaces, thus adding more risk to retiring here. This changed retiring strategy quite a bit, making come-from-behind victories possible if Millionaire Estate retirees' luck turned for the worse:. The Classic game followed the rules of the current board game.

In the Enhanced game, when a player landed on a space that would ordinarily award them a LIFE tile, they instead spun the wheel. Random items were assigned to each space, being either a cash amount or one of the games. One exception was spinning 10, which allowed the player to spin again and multiplied the player's winnings from whatever they landed on. Letter Number Template. Apr 23, By Printablee. No Comment.
