Remember those childhood days spent playing The Game of Life? Did anyone ever manage to complete a full game? In my household, it usually ended in a flurry of fake bills being tossed around, often sparked by disagreements about the rules or when my youngest sibling threw a fit upon realizing he was losing. Ah, the joys of family bonding.
Now, the creators of this classic board game have added an exciting twist—pets! Yes, players can now collect adorable puppies and kittens alongside the traditional pink and blue pegs representing children. Let’s face it, what could possibly be more delightful than having a car full of furry companions?
In this revamped edition, each player begins with a car, a “Spin to Win” token, a child peg (either pink or blue), a pet peg, and a starting amount of $200,000. Just look at those cute little furballs in the backseat! My heart can’t take it.
The game also features pet-themed cards that require players to spend their hard-earned faux cash on expenses such as vet visits. As a proud dog mom with two shelter rescues who seem to visit the vet monthly, I can confirm this addition is quite realistic.
Similar to the original game, players can still navigate life events like marriage, education, and parenthood. However, now they can also include the joy of pet ownership—something that many couples experience, with or without kids. It’s about time The Game of Life embraced this aspect of real life.
Honestly, if I were a kid again, I would prefer a backseat filled with playful puppies over children any day!
You can purchase this updated version of The Game of Life, complete with furry friends, on Amazon for just $19.99. Happy collecting!
