Toys and Games Reviews of Parker Brothers Vintage Game Collection Wooden Book Box The Game of Life
Customer Review: Not the real game
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the vintage version of Life at target, I loved this game as a kid and figured it was worth it. However, the game has completely different rules. You no longer have job, salary and house cards which was half the fun! You no longer get life cards but some weird other thing if you land on pay day and there is nothing like travel Europe get a life card. Stocks are no longer spin a number. There is now a "revenge" card - not the best idea for kids. Also, you can't retire to the countryside, you either are a millionaire or bankrupt! When you get married or have kids the others must pay you as gifts, because clearly gifts are mandatory in life. The new rules are ridiculous and insulting to the original game, not to mention the pieces are cheaper than ever (ie the people don't fit in the car, the pieces don't fit on the board and the spinner gets stuck). Don't waste your money, get the real Life.Customer Review: Not so great

I found this game at Target and I thought it was such a great idea so I bought it. When I got it home, I tried to put it all together, come to find out the pieces were to big for the board or didnt fit right. The board wouldnt close all the way when you put in the wheel so we had to play with a big split in the board. The cars holes were too small and wouldnt hold the people so they kept falling out every time you would move the piece. The pieces are cheaply made,not like the orginal game.
I think the set is awesome but I would only buy the ones that you dont have to put together
Customer Review: Cheaply Made only looks pretty on the outside.

I've never played LIFE before and I got the vintage edition because I had bought the SORRY vintage edition earlier and had thoroughly enjoyed it. But the pieces don't fit and the spinner is ridiculously hard to work one reason being it doesn't fit on the board, making it uneven. And the little people in the cars fall out easily as well. Like I said, I've never played this game before, so I have never owned another board to compare this to. However, considering a lot of people have had the same problem, I don't think I'm too far off base.Customer Review: There's nothing like old games, even when they're new.

I purchased this vintage wood book edition of LIFE for my husband who has been collecting wood board games. He especially wanted this vintage edition because of the original rules of the game. If you're old enough to remember, the original rules has a different 'value' for boy children than girl children. The new rules of the game are more politically correct. Regardless, it was the perfect holiday present for my husband to complete his collection.Customer Review: BOUGHT THE ENTIRE COLLECTION
Summary: 5 Stars
I love all the games from the vintage edition. I'm so sick of the old boxes in my closets - I wanted the games in my bookshelf where I could keep them neat and in plain sight for people to see. I like board games and these are perfect for me and my family.
