Life Board Game Rules: How Do You Play The Game of Life
Game Overview:
Life is a two to six player game about money. Your score is represented by the wealth your
token car collects as it travels through the board, with the overall goal being to retire the
wealthiest player at the end of the game.
Game Setup: Place all of the life tiles face down wherever it is most convenient for players
to reach. Designate one player to be banker, and place the reserve money near that player.
Separate the two insurance policies into their own piles near the pile of loans, which should
be in reach of the banker. Separate the salary, career, house, and stock cards into their
own piles where all players can reach.
Life tokens are never viewed during the game and are always face down until all players
have retired.
Each player selects a plastic car and places a pink or blue peg into the driver seat to
represent their play token. Players place the token on the starting position on the game
board and are given $10,000 by the bank. Play order is determined by spinning the wheel–
each player spins once and the highest number goes first. In case of a tie the wheel is spun
again by the tying players.
Four life tokens are placed at the end of the game board and are rewarded at the end of the
game to the player that retires in the mansion and has the most money.
