Saves you a refund- Players seeking direct control over movement may find the spinner-led turns restrictive.

- Players looking for every world in the base game will need to buy additional worlds separately.
Our take on THE GAME OF LIFE 2
Its board-game structure keeps life decisions within a turn-based path, rather than offering open-ended control over a character’s day-to-day life. Additional worlds also sit outside the base game, so access to their jobs, properties and customisation items requires a separate purchase.
What is THE GAME OF LIFE 2?
THE GAME OF LIFE 2 is a 3D board game in which players spin to move along a life path and respond to events on the spaces they reach.
Turns can involve collecting a salary, buying a house or drawing an Action card. At crossroads, players choose between options such as college or a career, marriage or staying single, and having children or adopting a pet. Choices earn points in Knowledge, Wealth and Happiness, and players can aim to lead in one category or balance all three.
The base game includes the Classic World, along with outfits, avatars and vehicles, with additional customisation items to unlock through play. Other worlds, which add jobs, properties, outfits and vehicles, are sold separately in-game or in a collection.
