Reuben Klamer the toy inventor of "The Game of Life" died on 9/14/21 He also created the phaser rifle used in the" Star Trek" TV series. It's amazing that a man who created one of the most popular games in US history ended up being it's biggest winner of all. He lived to be 99 years old. Obviously he knew a lot more about winning in the real game of life than anybody ever gave him credit for.

Hi guys, another great video. How is this version different from the 2002 version?

played this game 26 years ago. I would always skip marriage and kids. I broke the rule of choosing a teacher career card without going to college. Years later, I became a teacher without earning a degree, and I'm still single and childless 🙂

I will point out in the older versions (60's-80's) there are spaces that do send you backwards, and in THAT case you pay NO ATTENTION to rewards or penalties. I should know, as my sister owns the 80's version and she and I played it as kids.

I just bought the new one and it sucks. No mountains or buildings so I will donate that one and find a vintage version or one like yours. 😉

Happy New Year! Nice, I have this same version too. Although I grew up playing the 1990s edition which is very similar to this one. 😁

Thanks I bought this from a garage sale and it was a mess and this review was really helpful

Happy New Year. Maybe the 60th anniversary edition would be the covid 19 edition, because life as we knew it has drastically changed. 😥
