Pros: Simplistic and fun to play, game doesn't take long to complete...
Cons: ...pieces are easy to lose and cheap, game can be redundant and unrealistic
When I was a kid, I was a big fan of board games. I loved playing them, and even though I was the only child, I'd always end up convincing anyone that was around to play a game with me. Somehow, I grew out of the board game stage around the age of ...

Yes, I Have No Bananas... Err, Life.

by emptywishes Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 01 '01
Pros: neato 3d buildings, spinner that makes cool noise, old-fashioned charm.
Cons: "make lots of money and you are a winner" is a rather unsettling message.
And so it evolved. Work friends had requested my presence at some nearby bar for some pleasure after business. Once again, work friends had failed to see how this would be of no interest to me, seeing that I'm all of 20 years old, and have nothing to...

Truly a "Game of Life"

by dellbhai , Nov 13 '01
Pros: Fun and entertainment while giving your kids a valuable education on Life.
Cons: Game more dependent on luck than skill and you get paid too often!
I came across this game while I was looking for Monopoly and bought it out of instinct. The idea of the game appealed to me and I was just hoping that it would be different and interesting. All in all, I think the game definitely gives you a feel of...

Just like old times, but...

by HawgWyld Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jun 28 '00
Pros: Time-tested fun
Cons: These games aren't constructed as well as they used to be
I've loved this game since I was a kid. I remember getting it for Christmas when I was all of six-years-old and feeling like one lucky brat. Life, you see, wasn't like those other games in that the board was more "three-dimensional" than most...

Pros: Family fun, Easy to play and learn

Pros: lots of fun, easy to play, appeals to all ages

I haven't played this game in a long time, but I remember how much fun I've had playing it. It may not be just like real life, but so what? You can get married, have kids, and retire within the space of an hour. How else can you pull that one...
