Product Description
A thousand ways to live your life - you choose! The classic board game of LIFE takes on a few new twists and turns in this all-new updated version. The Game of LIFE: Twists and Turns is for kids who enjoy the freedom of making their own choices in life. A special "lifepod" keeps track of your money and "life points" on your make-believe Visa card. Includes game board, game pieces and battery-operated lifepod. Requires 2 "AA" batteries, not included.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Game of Life: Twists and Turns puts a new and modern spin on Hasbro's classic family board game. It is a game of choices, where players can "test drive" different lifestyles, take their chances and experience the twists and turns of real life. Jobs, money, marriage, children and all sorts of unexpected events -- just like real life, it's all here! Recommended for ages 8 and up, there are a thousand different ways to play this game, and no two games will ever be the same.

Updating a Classic
Like the classic version of the Game of Life, the Game of Life: Twists and Turns is based around real-life events. You'll choose a profession at the beginning of the game, and roll the dice to progress along the board. As you progress, you'll encounter all sorts of real-life events (injected with a hefty dose of humor, of course), including marriage, houses, cars and family matters. You'll essentially live real life and make life-defining decisions, but without having to live with the consequences.

However, Twists and Turns has a number of updates in store. Not only does it offer far more choices and possibilities than the original, it also has a number of new technical features that both longtime fans and newly-introduced players will appreciate greatly. The game now features a "LIFEPod," which helps players keep track of time and manage their careers, houses, cars and families with the touch of the button. The high-tech interface adds loads of fun to the game. The innovations don't stop there: each player now gets their very own Visa credit card, which they can use to spend. This not only puts a fresh modern twist on the game, but it also could possibly teach younger players about credit card responsibility at an early age. This gives educational value to an already quirky and fun game.



An updated classic game, this version of Life features a LIFEPod to help keep track of players' careers, houses, cars, and families.

We previously purchased this game but the electronic component broke from so much use so we had to purchase a whole new game.


5 out of 5 stars Completely enjoyable!!!   January 13, 2010

This game is more fun than I imagined it would be!!! My kids can never get me to play Life with them because I hate all the hassle with parts and money everything, plus all the confusion, and then there is the spinner that usually doesn't spin well or flies across the board. I bought Life Twists & Turns because it intrigued me. The first time we played it we ALL fell in love with it. With the little "credit cards" it keeps track of money, life points, houses, cars, kids, EVERYTHING! It even adds it all up for you and determines the winner! No arguing, no confusion, just fun. And you can even choose how long the game will be by choosing how many "years" you will play....each spin equals a year....and you choose at the beginning of the game. Oh, and no spinner flying across the board either, it's electronic as well.

We play this game often and I actually enjoy playing it with the kids as well as with adults. It is sooooo much better than the original Life game!



5 out of 5 stars Kids are having a blast with this new version of Life!   January 11, 2010

My 10 year old son wanted this for Christmas. He isn't disappointed. He and his siblings, older and younger, have had alot of fun playing this game. It was expensive for a board game, but I guess since it's so new, it was worth it.
