    It's a great edition

    I was so excited to see new versions of Life available. This is a beautiful board and it's great for fans. It's fun, easy to play but has so many possible outcomes. It's great for all ages.

    Does the job

    It’s a fun game and the theme is pretty good. Quality is standard. My primary complaint is the game is way too fast.

Good for young kids versus adults.

What happens when you use an item card or something a friend g
