''The Game of Life'', originally known as ''The Checkered Game of Life'', is a game created by Creator/MiltonBradley in which you literally go through your life, from college to retirement. Along the way, you start a career, get married, and even have children, if you're lucky. The game has evolved drastically over the years; while play pretty much remained the same from the 1960's through 1990, dollar values were occasionally adjusted for inflation. As many as ten people can play the game, depending on how many game pieces Milton Bradley felt like putting into the games that day.
You begin the game with two choices: go to college, which puts you at a financial disadvantage at first but gives you more career options; or go immediately into a job, but have fewer career options (in the original game, a flat salary lower than ANY job available on the "college" route.) Soon after that, you travel a bit before getting married. Then, you own a house. After that, it's pretty much free-for-all. You can land on spaces that cause you to lose your job, collect or pay money, have children, and more. The game ends with your retirement, the manner in which you do so determined by how quickly you ended the game, as well as how much money you think you ended with in comparison to the other players.

A typical turn of the game is as follows: Spin the multicolored wheel (numbered 1-10) in the middle of the gameboard, advance that number of spaces, and do what the space you land on tells you to (usually collect or pay money).

In the current version of the game, upon retirement you can choose to live in Countryside Acres (more or less a "safe zone") or Millionaire Estates (a route that offers more chances to score large amounts of cash, provided you arrive there first). In the classic version, all cars ended at the Millionaire space unless a player who was knowingly significantly behind attempted to force a NonStandardGameOver by risking everything on one spin of the wheel. Going for broke and failing resulted in that player being placed on the "Bankrupt" space, which would become Countryside Acres.

** The variant of "collecting presents" for getting married; the wheel spin dictated how much money the other players gave you for your "honeymoon".
** "Lucky Day"; landing on one of these spaces allowed you to take a flat $20,000 or give it up for a chance to call two numbers and spin; landing on one of the two numbers awarded you $300,000.
** Going for "Millionaire Tycoon" at the end of the game, when it was clear you had no other chance to win. You selected one number and spun. Landing on that number resulted in an InstantWinCondition; any other number resulted in an [[OneHitKill instant]] [[NonStandardGameOver loss]].

You begin the game with two choices, go to college, start out with minus 20,000 dollars, but have more career options, or go immediately into a job, but have fewer career options. Soon after that, you travel a bit before getting married. Then, you own a house. After that, it's pretty much free-for-all. You can land on spaces that cause you to lose your job, gain LIFE tiles, have children, and more. Finally, at retirement, you can choose to live in Countryside Acres or Millionaire Estates.

''The Game of Life'', originally known as ''The Checkered Game of Life'' is a game created by MiltonBradley in which you literally go through your life, from college to retirement. Along the way, you start a career, get married, and even have children, if you're lucky. As many as ten people can play the game.
You begin the game with two choices, go to college, start out with minus 20,000 dollars, but have more career options, or go immediately into a job, but have fewer career options. Soon after that, you travel a bit before getting married. Then, you own a house. After that, it's pretty much free-for-all. You can land on spaces that cause you to lose your job, gain LIFE tiles, have children, and more. Finally, at retirement, you can choose to live in Countryside Acres or Millionaire Estates.
This game was America's first popular parlor game.
In 1998, a CD version of the game was created and in 2005, the game was released with a few changes.
