Product Description
A thousand ways to live your life - you choose! The classic board game of LIFE takes on a few new twists and turns in this all-new updated version. The Game of LIFE: Twists and Turns is for kids who enjoy the freedom of making their own choices in life. A special "lifepod" keeps track of your money and "life points" on your make-believe Visa card. Includes game board, game pieces and battery-operated lifepod. Requires 2 "AA" batteries, not included.

Amazon.com 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.

5 out of 5 stars Beats the "bored" game   June 7, 2010
T. Tracy (SCOTTSDALE, AZ, US)
I played the Game of Life board game in my youth, with my children and grandkids, but only rarely, and never twice in a day...we'd drag it out every few years. It was just too long and boring. The kids would drop out, we called them "suicides". Not with this fancy electronic version, we've played back-on-back games and gone whole hog with the longest lifespan. The grandkids are older now, from 13 to 21 but all glad to have "rediscovered" it and the old-fashioned "bored-game" sets in the game closet. I question if kids under 10 would have the patience for even this improved version but even the adults play this with the adolescents.


5 out of 5 stars Great game for young teens/preteens   May 12, 2010
Tired Momma (Grayslake, IL)
I bought this game as a gift for a 14-year old, and she and her younger sisters and parents had tons of fun playing it. They apparently played it at least 5 times the first weekend they had it. It comes with a "credit card" type of thing that teaches them about using credit. So, educational AND fun!


2 out of 5 stars Too computerized   April 15, 2010

I bought this for my 9 year old grandson on his birthday, thinking to be grandma of the year. He asked for the Life game so of course I had to try one that's better. He played it a few times and I asked him to be honest with me on what he thought and he said he liked the plain old regular Life much better. This one is too computerized, he said. His parents agree.
