Where will life take you - to the country cottage or the millionaire's mansion? Well, we can still dream in one of the classic mainstream games. Players journey through life, which may entail going to university, getting married and having children, borrowing from the bank and suing for damages. You can risk everything for big gains or steadily amass a fortune but you can lose it all. So, make the most of your lucky breaks because the Game of Life can be unfair.
When it was first published in 1960 Game of Life was highly innovative with its 3D board.

Information about MB Games
Milton Bradley established his eponymous printing company in 1860. To grow the business Bradley created The Checkered Game of Life and its success set a new direction for the company. On its centenary In 1960, MB Games updated its very first game and simplified the title - Game Of Life remains popular even today.
MB is perhaps best known for producing action games, particularly aimed at children, such as Mousetrap and Operation, and also TV tie-ins. For the family and adult market it produced games such as Yahtzee, Go For Broke and HeroQuest and Bermuda Triangle. In response to the rise of computer games in the early 1980s, MB marketed board game versions of popular arcade titles, such as Pacman.
In 1984 MB Games was swallowed up by Hasbro.
