This version is an 8 but overall, I give Life a 10. I believe I had the 1999 version before and I miss that one deeply. I have no idea what happened to it. I hate the spin to win and the number investing thing. I essentially play without those features. In the version I have now, we have to get a starter home and then get a real home. I think that was an unnecessary addition. And this is not a huge issue, but half of the stop signs are on the wrong side of the square and it bothers me immensely lol It's still my favorite board game but I wish I had the 1999 version again.

The intent of the game is to have the most assets at the end of the game. Assets are earned primarily by passing Payday spots on the game board. Money is also earned (and sometimes lost) by drawing Action cards, which assign set amounts or multiples of the wheel spin.
There is a very linear board that you move along by spinning a wheel. There are a handful of intersections where you can choose to go one direction or another but they ultimately have similar spaces and meet back up quickly. The first one is a decision to either attend college (payment due and a longer track), or not - with different career cards drawn as a result of that decision. There are a handful of choices regarding house speculation, but for the most part it is a game of luck.
This game makes a number of updates to older games in the game family. The maximum number of players has been reduced from 6 to 4, and a number of new cards and concepts have been introduced, increasing the randomness of asset collection.

Own the edition that adds pets. My kids really enjoy this game. It's pleasant, but the components are much worse than the old editions. There's no plastic buildings or ramps you drive over on the corners. The spinner attaches to the edge of the board so it's not as secure and doesn't spin as well.
