Life.

L I F E

The game of Life is structured in a way so that at the beginning of the game you skip your childhood and either go straight to college or start a career. The game is a shorter version of life itself with achievements and downfalls as you go along. In one short hour or two you see your “character” as one might call it, starting in his/her twenties I might assume, and ending in retirement. This game reflects the “real world” by putting some real world issues on the board such as “paying for your kids to go to college”, getting married, buying a house, buying stock, paydays, and having kids (well just sticking the colored pegs onto your car..), and it also puts some real world issues that hardly ever happen only if your so lucky as to land on the square per say. “Everyday life” is in the game of Life. The game of Life just makes “everyday life” seem that much more exciting. Every little square in the game of Life I land on has some sort of monetary value or “LIFE” written on it which almost makes this game of Life much more suspenseful than REAL life. All in all, we can’t finish college in a couple spins, we don’t get to choose our income from either “$20,000, $50,000, or $100,000”, and we don’t retire within two hours. If this game of Life was life, I'd be a doctor, living in a tudor, making $100,000 every payday...
