Unfortunately the game of life today has as much strategy as Candy Land. No stock, no insurance, home buying is luck. Very little amount of risk involved and the bank notes for going negative will never under any circumstances get used. Not sure why the Pets version included it. And the Pets version added more opportunities adding more pegs to your car without expanding the car, so the majority of games involves either borrowing another car or just not putting them in, defeating the purpose. Another missed opportunity from the newer versions is the assembly. The older versions would have you set up the hills and spinner, a fun part of game set up now removed. Like most Hasbro games I would easily pass. For anyone wanting good board games prior to the Hasbro take over, go down to your local thrift shop or book store and you'll find amazing games for good prices. Just make sure all the pieces are there.

My favorite is the 2000s. To be honest I was born in 2004 and never heard about the game until the one time I got it.

Nice! I'm oddly fascinated by the board game "Life", ever since I found out that pretty much every time they release a new version, they don't just change the appearance, dollar amounts, etc. but also the GAMEPLAY. And the way I found this out...was when I wanted to buy a new copy to replace my old '80s one that fell apart--and got new rules, job-switching and good deed cards! Also, awesome touch using the Win 98 version's music for the background. :D (My god, I still have that thing, even though it probably won't play on my new computer. But I remember! You travelled through time as you went along the road, starting in the 1950s, with the music changing to reflect each decade as you went along! Such a neat feature. I wish later electronic versions of the game would bring that back.)

Reuben Klamer the toy inventor of "The Game of Life" died on 9/14/21 He also created the phaser rifle used in the" Star Trek" TV series. It's amazing that a man who created one of the most popular games in US history ended up being it's biggest winner of all. He lived to be 99 years old. Obviously he knew a lot more about winning in the real game of life than anybody ever gave him credit for.

Note that's a Canadian edition you used for the '70s/'80s versions, with things like "DECLARED DESTITUTE" instead of BANKRUPT!, no "REVENGE" on the Sue For Damages spaces, and other various rewordings on some of the spaces.

I only have the original “Game of Life” from 1960’s and it was a later release from the mid to late 1960’s, the original 1960 edition had “100th Anniversary Game” on the left side since the game was first introduced in 1860 created by Milton Bradley, and the “black box” MB logo. Mine has the red/blue MB logo instead of the “black box”.

I noticed the background music is taken from the CD-Rom, which plays to the current version of the board game... which takes out all the backwards spaces (in which penalties and rewards do NOT take effect).

1960s all the way. Discovered it in 1995 when I was 5 at my grandparents. I have since purchased my own and my wife and I play it weekly. It feels truly like the only “adult” version of life. I may however check out the 50th anniv edition which I was unware of. Literally threw away (donated) the mid 2010s version after seeing no writing on board spaces lol. But seriously the 1960s one is where it’s at: large directions on the lid (so no crappy paper), gambling on other players spins, certificates, revenge, great looking money. I suspect it’s too sensitive in today’s world or perhaps worried about it for kids? But I mean I played it when I was 5 and I feel like I micromanage pretty well TBH 👍🏼

The 50th version, does the non-college career has no other power anymore? And the job symbols on the maps has also been cleared... so the non-college jobs have payment purely from pay roll and luck?
@zacharyw213

College has higher paying careers than career but with the cost of a loan. Jobs only serve to pay you on Payday so literally nothing special. On top of that, a valid strategy I do is start career first. There's an option later on to choose College at a price I'll do that to avoid an early loan.

This is a great video showing the changes that were made to this game and it’s amazing how they change the elements of the game I know that when I play the 2000’s version it has a lot of different elements that aren’t found in the modern version of the game like the career spaces such as the account gets the money when landing on taxes due or ski accident pay $$$ to the doctor but I also like the fact in the 50th anniversary of the game they gave you night school as a choice and not essential to get better career with better max salary and I also liked the fact that you got pay raises in that version of the game as well that aren’t found in today’s version and I miss those elements of the game and also I don’t mean to sound rude but the version that was showed for the 2000’s version is actually the 2002 edition and the 2000’s version is exactly like the 1999 version just with upgraded visuals and illustrations on the board and to the cards great video though and thanks again for the trip down memory lane also as mentioned in another comment great addition of adding the music from the Win98 game Great video and keep up the good work
