Enhanced mini-games are a nice addition but otherwise this is ROUGH. This has the same art style as the dime-a-dozen Snapchat and Facebook avatars and it feels just a soulless. You've gotta try out the Dual Income No Kids build, you've gotta be boomer-maxing and stock-pilled. I need a doctor.

Genuinely, this is probably the most charming board game adaptation I've ever played, even if it's still just generic The Game Of Life. I personally adore the cheesy animations and music, as they absolutely scream "late-1990s, early-2000s PC game" to me. All the jokes are quite silly, although they can understandably get repetitive, over the course of lots of playthroughs.

Play a game or two with your buddies. I think it's a good time.

About as good as the actual board game

uh oh taxes due!

i have a soft spot for this goofy game bc i played a lot with family
specially when i realized my ps3 could play it

just because I'm a clown doesn't mean you can pay me in funny money

HEY LOOK, I REMEMBER THIS LINE FROM 1998. WHERE IS MY REWARD, LIFE? WHAT DO I RECEIVE IN THE AFTERLIFE FOR THIS TIDBIT??

Played this for a Gextra Life charity stream. It was 3 or 4 in the morning and I couldn't stay awake for even a single turn.
