 "Great fun for all!" 2010-02-08
By D. Lesher (Durham, NC United States)
I played this game as a kid, and now my kids are playing it. It helps them develop deduction skills, recognize small differences and also is helping my son read (sound out names). We love to play it as a whole family!

 "Guess Who Review" 2010-02-06
By Karin J. Diemer (Grand Rapids, MI)
I think this game is wonderful. It's a game that my boyfriend and I used to play as children so I bought it for him for Christmas. He loved it! We played so many times in the weeks that followed and it arrived in excellent shape! When I ordered this game I was just hoping that it would arrive without any pieces missing or the box too torn up but when it arrived it was fantastic! There was nothing wrong with it...it was brand new!

 "Falls apart" 2010-01-07
By M. Tedesco (Glen Ridge, NJ United States)
This game needs assembled nearly every time we play. All the cards fall out, the windows fall off...annoying.

After playing 5 times or so...the questions are repeated, and the fun is gone. The images are somewhat naive and unbalanced. So you run out of interesting questions.

 "Assemble at your own risk" 2010-01-05
By Mimi B. (Michigan)
After paying $16 for this game, I was very surprised that Hasbro requires their customers to complete the game construction that they were too cheap to pay for at the factory. What's the $16 dollars for? The box contains maybe $1 in flimsy materials. While my eager children waited, it took over an hour for me to assemble the game. Even then, the face cards continued to slide out of the ill-fitted slots.



Also, why only a few female characters? If the "mystery" card is a female, an opponent can quickly narrow down the possibilities to a handful by asking about gender. Love the idea behind the game -- but Hasbro should change the gender mix and provide the game in ready-to-play form, especially at $16.

 "Fun toy, TERRIBLE CONSTRUCTION" 2009-12-28
By L. Lamb (Santa Barbara, USA)
I remember this game from my own childhood and was pleased to have it sent as a present for my own daughter for Christmas UNTIL we opened it and tried to put it together - VERY FIDDLY, took over an hour with poorly made cardboard and plastic pieces. By the time it was constructed I never wanted to look at the darn thing again. Give it 1 star because of this terrible construction. You'd think they could do better

 "Not the same as the old one...." 2010-02-05
By Kailee Erlandsen (Williston, ND USA)
My husband and I ordered this game for our son. We both enjoyed playing the game as children and thought our son would like it as well. We were a little surprised that it had changed some, but 20 years later, we really shouldn't have expected it to be the exact same.



We actually liked the changes. They took us a few rounds to get it down, but we had a blast. Our son is asking us to play the game a lot. He has even taken it to his grandparent's house to play with them!



We also got the game on sale and even with shipping, it was still cheaper than buying at our local Wal-Mart.



So yes, beware, the game has changed, but just because a few people don't like change, doesn't necessarily mean the changes are terrible.



The thing is, if you really want to play with the old rules (ie choose your career vs choosing blindly, spin for gifts vs using the LIFE tiles, etc.) than there is no reason you can't.

 "Fun family game" 2010-01-18
By Muktown Mom (Mukwonago, MI)
Having not had the original game of Life when I was a kid, I had nothing to compare it to. We got this for Christmas and I played it with my 11 yr old and 7 yr old sons. I thought it might be harder for my 7 yr old to follow at first..seemed a little grown up with all the careers, salary, etc. But he caught on and we had a fun game. He loved suing me...twice...

By Madison H. Meyer (Green Bay, WI USA)
I bought this game because some friends and I had forgotten how to play. It had been a while, but once receiving the board game, it all came rushing back.

The game lasted a lot longer than I remembered, and all of it's little details are really fun to set up. As a kid I never followed the precise rules, but now as an adult, it's more fun that way!

 "Do you really want to teach your children to sue people???" 2009-12-26
By A.P. (Wasilla, Alaska)
I was just now setting up this stupid game I got for my 9-yr-old son who asked for it. There are at LEAST 9 spots to land where you're supposed to sue your neighbor and get 100,000. I have a real problem with that. Another is where you get cosmetic surgery...what? I came online to see what alternatives I could come up with and make my own stickers to put over top of the extra bad spots. Definately should have read the reviews. I didn't have this one as a kid, but I can't immagine it being like this.

 "A cheap "gimmicky" version of the original" 2009-12-20
By angel.white
First of all, what made the original fun to play, when I was a kid, was imagining being an adult, making all these adult choices, and personalizing whatever mostly random set of experiences the game said we would have.



The game just seems cheap and gimmicky now, like some soulless executive said "make it cost half as much to create, and throw some hooks in to make up for it"

examples:

1. The plastic pieces now fall off the board, we had to fix the spinner several times.



2. The life cards are smaller, give less money (like 10 or 20k instead of 100 or 200k), an ugly yellow colour, and worst of all, don't say what they are for, we used to always read them at the end and ooh/aah/giggle depending on what the card was for, and how well it would fit the person who got it, but now it's just a number



3. The people don't stay in the cars any more, if you pick the car up by the person, they all fall out (this occurred frequently enough that we nicknamed it "Godzillaing"); there are all these cards called "share the wealth" like 30 of them, I think there are as much "share the wealth" cards as all other cards combined, but between the three of us, we only ever got one of these cards.



4. The new one turned the entire thing into an enormous cartoon, every image is cartoony and cheap feeling. The money doesn't look like money, the characters are all childish looking, you can't look at the houses and actually care which one you get, because they all look horrible (okay, the mountain cottage was decent).



5. They added roulette to the game (I kid you not), and built this whole thing around "spin to win" where your kids can learn to gamble.







But it's not all bad, there were some things I liked about it

1. They got rid of trading your salary, which seemed to always go against me.



2. I liked the job raises you could get, and that the salary is now tied to the job instead of a separate card.



Okay, that's pretty much it. Overall, I felt like I was just lining some corporate goon's pockets by buying the game.

My 6 year old has been playing this game at friend's houses, and he loves it.

Just bought this at Target today for $9.00, and with taxes still under $10

I've seen this before where Amazon doesn't compete for price for board games, so would suggest a quick shop of Target or Walmart if convenient before ordering from Amazon.

Otherwise you can't beat Amazon's convenience of on-line shopping.

 ""Trouble" board game" 2009-11-09
By Joseph A. Kibelbek (Fort Myers, FL)
This game was recommended by a friend as being a lot of fun and easy to play.

It's built of high quality materials and should last a long time with constant use.

I am using it as a occupational therapy aid device for a stroke victim with limited verbal communications.

At first I thought the "popper" would be a problem but it is working out as a great exerciser for the upper body!

Easy to set up, easy to follow the rules and a LOT of FUN!!

 "Cards are a little flimsy" 2010-01-30
By J. Hasselkus (Wisconsin)
We've only had this set of Uno cards for about a month and if you saw them you'd figure we've had them for years. Mostly that's because my kids are always asking to play Uno but it's also because these cards are kind of flimsy so a few of the cards already have visible folds in them. The cards are also smaller than I expected but that's not a big deal. Great game though.

 "Still Fun" 2009-10-10
By Terri (San Jose, CA)
Uno was a great game when I was a kid and I still have fun when I play this game with my own children. You can make the game last as long as you like and you don't have to keep score which is nice when you are playing with younger children. The recommended age is 7 but I agree with other reviewers who've said that this game can be played with younger children. My children started as young as 3 1/2. It's a great opportunity for family time, practicing color recognition, number recognititon, counting, matching and turning taking. As a mother and prek teacher, I whole-heartedly recommend this game.

 "Great Game for Young Kids" 2010-01-22
By M. Randall (Oregon)
My mom bought this game so her grandkids would have something fun to play while visiting her house. My boys (ages 5 and 7) asked to borrow it two weeks ago and we have yet to return it. They play it multiple times daily and enjoy it every single time. I don't mind playing it with them either. I don't think I would want to play it every day with them, but it's such a simple game that they can play it by themselves, no problem. It's great for counting practice and number recognition, and the aphids and praying mantis make it interesting. Overall great game for young kids and a great, affordable gift idea!

It's great for him to count out how many spaces he has to move his game piece, and he is learning to recognize numbers. the numbers are printed VERY large on the cards, and so we are teaching him to recognize them.



I would recommend this to anyone with a 3-4 year old.
