I distinctly remember growing up and playing The Game of Life with my sister. We lived in the country and when we weren’t outside playing, we were inside playing games. Whether it was board games or make-believe games. We were constantly keeping busy with “non” technology. And I’d like to think we turned out ok! 🙂 I recently received The Game of Life to show you all on here, and gosh, did that bring back the memories! Having kids, getting hitched and racing to see who was the millionaire at the end. It was so much fun then and it’s even more fun now! 
The reason I say it’s more fun now is because I am playing it with my daughter. So I get to see the glimmer in her eye as she spins the wheel and waits to see what space she lands on.
This past weekend, my husband, my 7 year old and I all hovered around the dining room table and played our first game together, while younger sisters napped. Lilianna was the banker, so that was fun having her use her math skills to figure out what change we needed and at what times. It was a blast! The game isn’t one that lasts hours either. We were able to play in about 1/2 an hour and we started another game too! She wanted to keep going and going 🙂
The Game of Life is idea for ages 8+ and 2-4 players.

I didn’t play it too much growing up… but have played it a few times in adulthood! I always hope I get a bunch of kids, lol!
I played this growing up, and am still playing it
Rainy summer days we played this game. I always wanted to fill my car with kids. Now 3 is good! lol
I loved this game as a kid – I always wound up with more peg-kids than I could fit in the car. I’d be driving down the road of Life trailing little pink and blue pegs behind me…
i used to play it a lot.
I played as a kid and haven’t since. It would be fun to play with my daughter and granddaughters.
NEVER played it before!
This was one of our favorite games growing up. I still remember struggling with the decision to take out a loan for school or start work. I’d love to win this to play with my son.
I did play this game growing up, I don’t have it anymore so I can’t play it with my family, but I think it would be a great game to play together.
I played this when I was a kid and thought it was a lot of fun but not really like real life.

I played LIFE a few times as a kid and loved it. Would be fun to play it with my kids now.
I loved playing this game growing up! My husband, however, has never played so I would love to win and introduce it to him!!
We use to play this on our family game night when I was a kid, I haven’t played it in years!
I used to play the game of life at my best friend’s house growing up.
I did play this as a kid, and while we have regular game nights, this one is not in our game closet.
I played it as a kid but not as much as Monopoly. I would love to learn to play it again as my granddaughter is with me every weekend and she loves to play board games. Board games are also a good activity to get kids away from all of the electronics that are glued to their hip.
Yes, I did play this as a kid and think my grand kids would love it too!
I love this game, I haven’t played it since I was a kid, I would love for my kiddos to play it!

I do remember playing Life as a kid. It has probably been a few months since we last played it but we do still play with our children now.
This was one of my favorite games to play! I always wanted the twins – I always wanted a set when I “grew up”! I never got my set of twins but my sister did! LOL
I did play this game as a kid and I can’t wait to play it with my kids.
Thanks for the chance!

I played this all the time as a kid, and I’d be so thrilled to own it to share with my own.
I used to play The Game of Life with my sister when I was little. It was one of our very favorite games. Would love to play this with my grandchildren.

I used to play the Game of Life when I was kid. I remember those little blue and pink colored pegs you’d add to your car. I don’t have the game anymore. I’d love one to introduce this classic to my kids.
