Inaccuracies in The Game of Life

Out of boredom, I voluntarily played The Game of Life alone for several hours to discuss the realism in a children's board game, here's what I learned!

Inaccuracies in The Game of Life

Gonna tell myself, this game is merely what cars imagine human life to be like. Much funnier that way.

[@switchboxplays]

That’s why there’s no squares for early life and old age, because you can’t drive a car by yourself.

I can just imagine your wife as a "Crazy cat lady" but instead of going to the animal shelter for a weekly adoption of a cat. She would go to the local orphanage for a weekly adoption of a child. But every time she go back to return the adopted children after you tell her to, she gets another one because she can't see (Child #14) "all sad and alone". But you can't do anything because you're busy cooking and cleaning after the adopted children.

The 80s Game of Life we had when I was a kid felt so much more serious and intimidating. This looks like it's made for ages 3-12 THE 80S HAD LITTLE HOUSES TO PUT ON THE MAP and things

[@thesilverprincess]

I’ve got that one. It’s better in my opinion

[@Superkid33]

Woah, that modern game of life definitely has some differences from the older game of life (like the 2010s version or something) Anyone notice that or is it just me?

Oh for sure. I own both versions and it’s weird how a decade can change so much

[@YourMom-jd6jp]

For a project in one of my classes in high school, my group and I made a Game of Life board game parody where instead of focusing on adulthood, it focused on life in elementary through high school (hence why it was called the Game of Academia). I only bring this up because it did include some awkward moments like you described (I actually wrote most of those scenarios myself) so that made me think of the game lol. We ended up winning first place in the little contest we had in class to see who's game was better, but unfortunately the game is not for sale :D

[@crazycap2945]

May we at least read a bit more about the game?

[@YourMom-jd6jp]

@@crazycap2945 LOL I mean, what more did you want to know?

[@crazycap2945]

@@YourMom-jd6jp well in what ways is it different to the original? Besides the obvious

[@YourMom-jd6jp]

@@crazycap2945 Well (and all of this is at the top of my head) in some versions of the game of life, you have to complete certain actions with action cards (I think in one of the versions there is a card where where you do modeling so every player has to strike a pose), but instead of that, there were cards where players had opportunities to tell stories about themselves to other players (like maybe strange things they believed in as a kid, etc.), which allows players to get to know each other better. There were also cards about grades, extracurricular activities, home life, and relationships, some of which might require you to move forward some spaces or move back a few spaces (like if you got a bad grade on a test or got in trouble at home). At one point, I believe there was an opportunity to get your license and a car and doing so (or not doing so) affected you socially because sometimes you might want to go somewhere but can't because you have no transportation. Of course, the game ended with high school graduation instead of retirement lol

[@catholiccontriversy]

​@@YourMom-jd6jpsome examples of the awkward teen stuff for one please. Given some of the wacky awkward things I did as a teen I want to hear some other examples.

[@benthecat4345]

I must say, I prefer the older classic board compared to this new one, you know, the one where the spinner is attached to the board, you had little life tiles you had to collect, buildings and bridges that you place on the board to represent specific things on the board, and you have 2 options for retirement

[@Awakening_Sunshine]

Agreed. The version from 25-ish years ago was great

[@zaquepifer2376]

Glad you're okay Choopo! Community service can be rough

[@SerendibiteStudios]

I would always end up with about 17 kids, 9 houses, and 5 completely unrelated jobs. Fascinating, isn’t it?

[@pysq8]

That's super hard nowadays.. With these new-fangled boards 😅

[@Boywith3names1]

In the older version you only got 10k to start. But also all the spaces had a specific thing for that space rather than it being random

[@pysq8]

There's SO much card pulling now 😂

[@AverageEggmonEnthusiast]

The houses and careers were still random though iirc. If you completed college you drew 3 and got to choose your career. No college meant you drew face down and chose without knowing. Houses were also random at first I think but the spots for buying a new one let you choose one of 3.

[@wplays4271]

Honestly, you got a pretty snazzy coffin. A TV, a PS1, a board game, a space chimps poster (for worship of course) and access to sunlight. And still more roomy than a New York appartement

[@notoriouswhitemoth]

I heard once Bradley designed _The Checkered Game of Life_ to cope with depression. That said, this game is some extremely toxic propaganda. Ironically, "pink" (more accurately _magenta_ ) is the rarest color in the visible spectrum for complicated physics and probability reasons you probably don't care about.

I'm still wondering what happens if you land on the "Fat Office" space in the checkers version.

[@kendraressler4497]

I believe we had the 1980s version for the Game of Life and what I remember playing it was that I didn't care about the money. I wanted a family by the end of the game and I remember one instance where I didn't get kids during the run and I was upset. I think I may have even actually won the game having the most money but that didn't matter to me because I did not have any kids. There was also another instance where I kept landing on baby tiles and it was to the point I had no more holes to stick the peg figures to represent my kids in so I had to lay one across the middle. Needless to say in that run I was happy.
