Product Description

The Game of Life: Twists and Turns puts a new and modern spin on Hasbro's classic family board game. It is a game of choices, where players can "test drive" different lifestyles, take their chances and experience the twists and turns of real life. Jobs, money, marriage, children and all sorts of unexpected events -- just like real life, it's all here! Recommended for ages 8 and up, there are a thousand different ways to play this game, and no two games will ever be the same.

Updating a Classic
Like the classic version of the Game of Life, the Game of Life: Twists and Turns is based around real-life events. You'll choose a profession at the beginning of the game, and roll the dice to progress along the board. As you progress, you'll encounter all sorts of real-life events (injected with a hefty dose of humor, of course), including marriage, houses, cars and family matters. You'll essentially live real life and make life-defining decisions, but without having to live with the consequences.

However, Twists and Turns has a number of updates in store. Not only does it offer far more choices and possibilities than the original, it also has a number of new technical features that both longtime fans and newly-introduced players will appreciate greatly. The game now features a "LIFEPod," which helps players keep track of time and manage their careers, houses, cars and families with the touch of the button. The high-tech interface adds loads of fun to the game. The innovations don't stop there: each player now gets their very own Visa credit card, which they can use to spend. This not only puts a fresh modern twist on the game, but it also could possibly teach younger players about credit card responsibility at an early age. This gives educational value to an already quirky and fun game.



An updated classic game, this version of Life features a LIFEPod to help keep track of players' careers, houses, cars, and families.

We played this game with my 9 year old, and 6 year old. They both caught right on with no problems! My 75 year old mother even got it! We had it at my daughter's sleepover, and the 10 year old girls there loved it, and couldn't leave it alone. Our family highly recommends this game!
Exceptional Upgrade to an Old Favorite

This version of Life is a fantastic upgrade to the old, manual version. My 11-year old daughter loves the game especially because of the credit card use! She has already learned how some choices can impact our lives forever; for good or for bad. I have also truly enjoyed the game; we've played almost every day since Christmas. You can choose the length of the game, change occupations, change routes all adding up to a different game each time you play. I highly recommend it!
Great Family Fun

This game was a BLAST!!!My Kids and I really enjoyed playing it. One of the advantages of this game is that you can choose how long you want this game to last. On the downside..the directions can be a bit confusing BUT all in all.. This was an AWESOME game!!
Really love this game!

I got this game yesterday. I had always enjoyed playing the older version when I was a kid. This one is much more fun because the computer does all the score keeping and there is no paper money and itty bitty "People" pegs that get lost etc. You just put your card in the machine and it does all the calculations and when the game is over it tallies the score and lets you know who won!

Also you can determine how many "years" or turns everyone gets when you start. SO, if you want a quick game you just put in a couple of years and off you go. If you want to play all day you can put in 99 years and be sure the schedule some restroom breaks. LOL... as long as you don't turn off the computer it picks up where you leave off if you need to take a break.

There are very few things you need to keep track of so it doesn't take as long as the old version did. It teaches credit and smart buying habits if you take the time to discuss the implications of the choices that come along the route.

Well worth the money and I think that anyone who enjoys board games would love to play this one. Best part for me is the lack of so many parts and the need for a banker and shuffeling all that goofey paper money around.

Try it you'll like it!!!
A whole new life to the game of life.
