In a delightful twist, The Game of Life has added pets, bringing an exciting new layer to the classic board game. Remember those childhood evenings spent playing? In my home, we rarely completed a game, often ending in a whirlwind of fake bills after disputes about the rules or when my youngest sibling, Oliver, had a meltdown over his impending defeat. Ah, family dynamics!
In this latest edition, players can now include adorable pets alongside the traditional pink and blue pegs representing children. Collecting furry friends like kittens and puppies is undeniably more enjoyable. Each participant begins with a car, a “Spin to Win” token, a child peg in either gender, one pet peg, and a whopping $200,000 to kick off their journey.
The addition of pet-centric game cards requires players to spend their hard-earned fake cash on various expenses, including those inevitable vet visits. As a proud owner of two rescue dogs who frequently require trips to the vet, I can attest to the realism of this feature.
Like its predecessor, players can still marry, pursue careers, attend school, or raise children — but now they can also adopt a pet. This update makes the game resonate more with real-life experiences, especially considering how many couples start their families with a furry “baby.”
As a child, I would’ve much preferred a backseat filled with playful pups over kids. You can grab the newly updated Game of Life (complete with pets) on Amazon for $19.99. Happy collecting those furry companions!
