As a game, "The game of Life" is not much to write home about: mostly chance-based, with most of the game decision being quite trivial. I would be rather disappointed if I just played it by myself. However, it was a great game to play together with my daughter (5 y.o). Nice tool for learning such concepts as turn taking, chance, action cards, taking this or that road, risk-reward considerations and so on. Also a bunch of "life lessons" (somewhat basic, but still) to talk through: role of education, marriage, kids, how salaries work, what night school is and so on.

You are interviewing me about the Game of Life, here goes.... Q: Why did you buy and play the Game of Life? A: Steam suggested I might like it, and at that time it was discounted 90%, just over 1GPB (£) Q: Did you enjoy playing the Game of Life? A: Yes, yes I did actually. It is a pretty nice re-creation of the board game The Game of Life that I remember from my childhood, but in a video game with graphics and things that move, There are some differences, but they are not harmful to my memories of this game Q: Is The Game of Life strictly heteronormal? A: NO! not only can you choose your character to be not your own gender, you may marry a person of the same gender and even still have kids if you do so. Sometimes more than six kids, so it's all cool. Q: Can you play singleplayer? A: Yes you can play this game on your own, although the bots ARE heteronormal and will only marry the opposite sex when you get to the marriage stage. But that's fine, it's their choice. But you can also play against friends locally or via online multiplayer. Human players can ALL make their own choices about being gay or not, and everyone can potentially have kids no matter their choice. Q: Sorry, why did you play this again, forgot what you said? And why bother with a review? A: Cos it's a pretty prefect recreation of a very old but timeless traditional family board game and for once, this digital interpretation actually plays nice and represents the original well, with just fine graphics and animation, options to play online or local multiplayer, and actually some replayability. It's p good if you like this kind of thing. Q: So how does it compare to digital versions of, say, Monopoly? A: Just STFU man, there's no need for that
