yes im talking about the game of life. My sister in law bought a brand new copy of this game last week, so we hauled it out and played it 2 words it sucked....... this was the crappiest game ever made, the game is basically the same, same old life not a hell of a lot different there, im actually talking about the productionm of the game. All the stickers had to be put on , all the buildings now have to be taken out and put back every time, the little people dont stay in the cars. but the absolute worst was the spinner, it doesnt spin i mean it, it doesnt fucking spin!!!!!! it just sits there, you might get one or 2 good spins a night, thats it, we felt so sorry forher that we gave her a D10 to use, it really really sucked......

Actually I really like the game of life. Though we have the same issue with the edition we have, the spinner sucks. Though I remember being a kid and playing a neighbors copy and it worked fine. I think the production value has really gone down.
A fun diversion: Star Wars the Game of Life: A jedi's Path... it's a bit fun and has some rpg elements. Though there are a TON of better games out there.
Better Alternative if you like Life, is the PC and PS2 (actually may be PS1) version. These actually are a ton of fun with a group, better then the board game due to some mini games being added and the silly animations for each square.
Though really this game is just another case that you will continue to find when you get into better games. 99.9% of traditional boardgames suck, and you aren't sure why you ever had fun playing them. After playing a game like Peurto Rico that has mabe a %5 random factor and a 95% strategy factor, rolling the die and moving your piece seems like such a lame game convention. I hardly find any old games fun anymore after playing great games like Carcassonne, Catan, Princes of Florence, Wallenstien, heck even Avalon Hills Destroy All Monsters is way better then Sorry, or Parcheese.
