When a player reaches the end of the game, there are two options to "retire". One is to place their car at Millionaire Estates largely unchanged from the previous version , or, may retire at Countryside Acres previously the "Bankrupt" space. Each has its benefits and risks. If a player thinks he or she will end the game with the most cash, the best option is to retire at Millionaire Estates.
After all players have finished the game, they count their cash on hand; whoever has the most cash receives these four tiles in the rare occurrence of a tie, they are split. However, if other players are still playing the game and the LIFE Tile draw pile is empty, these players may still steal tiles from anyone retired at this space.
If a player is not confident in the amount of cash on hand, they may retire to Countryside Acres. In , a CD-ROM version of the game was produced by Hasbro which added computerized moves and short animations to the game.
An option was also given for players to compete in games over the Internet. Players retired at Countryside Acres were presumably immune from being selected. Also the routine for retiring changed. Retired players still spun the wheel on their turn, this time to gain or lose money.
The difference between Countryside Acres and Millionaire Estates is that the former only had one space in which the player could lose money, but the payouts were lower. The latter offered bigger payouts, but also had more numerous and severe penalty spaces, thus adding more risk to retiring here. This changed retiring strategy quite a bit, making come-from-behind victories possible if Millionaire Estate retirees' luck turned for the worse:.
The Classic game followed the rules of the current board game. In the Enhanced game, when a player landed on a space that would ordinarily award them a LIFE tile, they instead spun the wheel. Random items were assigned to each space, being either a cash amount or one of the games. One exception was spinning 10, which allowed the player to spin again and multiplied the player's winnings from whatever they landed on. The space started at Double, and the multiplier increased by one for each successive spin of The other exception was spinning 5, which was marked "Revenge" and gave the player another spin, but not before choosing one opponent from whom to take one's winnings from the game or presumably give to, if the player finished with a negative score in Up or Down.
Players retired at Countryside Acres are immune from being selected for revenge. Regardless of whether a player clicks DONE, exhausts all turns, or in the case of Skunk Money loses the accumulated winnings, all boxes are revealed before the next player spins.
The player has four tries to reveal as high an amount as possible. If satisfied that s he cannot achieve a higher amount with any remaining attempts, the player clicks DONE. There is also one of each denomination in the negative, which subtracts this amount from a player's potential gain and is painted the complementary color.
A player can choose as many spots as seen fit and stop at any time by clicking the DONE box. All letters in the word L-I-F-E must be uncovered in six clicks or fewer. Every letter appears alone in three different spots on the grid, in the form and colors of the Life ident. During the course of this game, a corner display, again in the form of the LIFE ident, keeps track of the player's progress by indicating which letters have and have not yet been uncovered.
The player has six tries to reveal two identical amounts. The game ends upon a match or exhausting all six turns. The other two spots contain a skunk. If a skunk is uncovered, the game ends and no money is gained. A player can stop at any time by clicking the DONE box. Like Treasure Chest, the idea is to uncover two spots containing the same denomination.
Unlike Treasure Chest, a player can achieve more than one match over the course of the game. In this take on the Memory Game, the player has four tries and therefore eight clicks to get as many matches as possible. Only included in the PC version, this game involved a player moving a crane left or right on top of a game board very similar to Plinko from The Price is Right.
When the player was satisfied with the crane's position, they dropped the ball into the board, where it would land in a slot on the bottom. No more than one ball at a time could occupy a slot. If a second ball did land in a slot, both balls would be destroyed, leaving the slot empty. After six balls, the total winnings were tallied and awarded to the player.
The player could also stop early by clicking the "stop" button. Another PC exclusive, this game was essentially the converse of Crane Dump. It involved the player moving a white bucket between the slots of Crane Dump. When they were satisfied with the bucket's position, they dropped the ball from the crane above the crane in this game was stationary in hopes that it would land in the bucket. A 40th anniversary edition was released in The biggest change to this game was the replacement of the Travel Agent with a Computer Consultant, and changes to corresponding career spaces.
An updated version of the game's format was released in with a few gameplay changes. Have everyone choose a car and people peg. The Game of Life comes with six car movers in different colors as well as people pegs that go in the cars. Make sure that every player chooses a car and puts a peg into it before placing that peg on the board. Method 5. Decide if you want to start a career or go to college.
Before your first turn, you will need to decide if you want to start the game with a career card or start the game by going to college. There are advantages and disadvantages to both options. The disadvantages of starting your career right away is that you will not earn as much money and there are some career cards that you may not take. The advantage of going to college is that you will earn more when you do get a career card. Draw a Career Card right away if you decide to start a career.
If you choose to start a career, then you will need to choose a career card right away. Discard any career cards that indicate that a college degree is required, such as the doctor career card.
Place your car on the Start College space if you decided to start college. If you are going to start college, then you will need to place your car on the start college space. You may not draw a career card yet. You may draw a career card when you reach the Job Search space. Spin the wheel. Each play will need to spin the wheel at the beginning of every turn. The number that you spin will indicate how many spaces you may move your car on the board. You may only move your car forward, not backwards on the board.
Observe the instructions for different space colors. The Game of Life board is very colorful and each space has different instructions that you will need to read and follow. Take some time to review the basic instructions for the space colors so that you will know what your options are. Blue spaces have instructions on them that you may decide to follow or not follow. Red spaces require you to stop moving, even if you have enough moves left to go past a red space. You have to stop whenever you encounter a red space.
Follow the instructions on the space, then spin and move again. Pay if you land on a career space that someone or no one owns. The career spaces on the board match the available career cards. If one of your opponents owns the card, then you need to pay that opponent the amount shown on the card. If no one owns the career card, then you need to pay the amount indicated on the space to the bank. This rule is known as the Special Police Officer Rule.
If no one has the card, then no one has to pay. The accountant gets an extra space on the board which is called the Taxes space. If you have the card, then you pay nothing. You may choose to purchase an insurance policy at the beginning of one of your turns.
These policies will offer some protection for your home or car depending on which one you buy in case of an accident. Buy stocks. You may buy a stock card at the beginning of one of your turns. This rule applies whether you are spinning or someone else is spinning. Take out a bank loan if you need it. Method 6. Stop moving when you reach the Retire space.
When you have reached the Retire space, you may not spin the wheel any more or draw cards, or purchase things.
This space indicates that you are near the end of the game. However, getting to the Retire space first does not mean you have won the game.
Repay your loans plus any interest you owe. The first thing you will need to do when you hit the Retire space is to repay any loans you have taken out plus the interest that you owe. Put this money back into the bank. Next, get rid of all of your special cards, but you may keep your stocks.
If you are ahead of your opponents, then you can continue to collect money from your stocks when your opponents spin the wheel. Move to Millionaire Estates if you think that you have the most money. Keep in mind that if you do move to Millionaire Estates, you stand a chance to collect four additional Life tiles that may help you win the game.
But other players may draw from this pile if the draw deck is empty. No one may take this Life tile from you and you may include it in your cash total at the end of the game. Have all of the players at Millionaire Estates count up their money. The player with the most money gets the last four life tiles that are on the Millionaire Estates space. Then, all of the players including those at Countryside Acres should add the cash amounts on their Life tiles with the money they have on hand.
The player with the most money is the winner! You have to get an action card that says you can file a lawsuit, and then you have to choose a player to sue.
