Hasbro 50th Anniversary Edition of The Game of Life Giveaway
I have loved working with Hasbro and was excited to receive my very own 50th Anniversary Edition of The Game of Life. I remember playing the Game of Life with my parents and siblings when I was younger. Now I have to tell you….it’s SO MUCH DIFFERENT playing The Game of Life as an adult, especially since I have personally been through some of the events in the game! I still find the game fun and exciting to play!
THE GAME OF LIFE SYNOPSIS:
Will you have lots of kids and keep your steady job? Or risk it all on the path to fame and riches? Set your car pawn on the path and give the spinner a turn to see how it all turns out for you in THE GAME OF LIFE 50th Special Anniversary Edition game! With all kinds of pitfalls and windfalls lying in your path, there’s no telling who the winner will be. But collect your play money and head toward “retirement” to see if you get to live out your days in luxury and win! And, in this special edition, five special coins add to the action and bring big rewards if you’ve got them at the end. Life is an adventure, and so is this game!
Includes gameboard, 6 plastic car pawns, pink and blue “people” pegs, 1 bridge, label sheet, 3 mountains, 25 LIFE tiles, instructions, story sheet, banker’s tray, 7 buildings, 24 Spin to Win tokens, Spin to Win strip, Deck of 54 cards, spinner base, ring and dial, stack of play money, bank loans, 5 special coins and pay raises.
Adult assembly required. For 2 to 6 players. Ages 9 and up. The 50th Anniversary edition of The Game of Life retails for $17.99.
MY THOUGHTS
This is a fun game that I have enjoyed playing as an adult as much as I did as a kid! It was weird at times to play the game with some of the events that I have been through in real life. The 50th Anniversary Edition of The Game of Life is a great idea for a Christmas gift for family or friends! Thanks to Hasbro for another awesome product!

I received a sample from Hasbro to facilitate this review on The Mommy-Files. The giveaway was sponsored by Hasbro. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% mine.
I don’t think I have had the chance to play since I was about 10 years old. I always played it at one friend’s house. We would sit on her bed and play it as we sipped Super Big Gulp “Graveyards”… a mix of every soda at the fountain.

I remember playing Life a few years ago when I was babysitting my neighbor’s daughters. We also played Clue too. I played Life whenever I had a couple of friends over after school. The game is more fun when you have more players.
My siblings and I grew up playing Life. We took it out again in October and had a blast!

The last time I played Life was when I was around 12…I’m 27 now. I miss those times sitting around the kitchen table playing board games all night with my Mom and my older sister. They were good times. Hopefully when my children get a little older I will be able to recreate that experience with them.

I last played it in Elementary school. Our board tipped over at one point, sending pieces flying and my brother unable to find his pink piece declared, “Where’s my WO-MAN?”. We still laugh about it.
Just played last week! My daughter and I play once a week at least, it’s her favorite game!
It has been years since I played but I used to love the game. This would be fun to introduce to my kids.
