Like the original game, players move around the gameboard on their way to retirement, getting married, having children, investing and getting educated. The fun comes when players interact with the iPad, spinning the wheel, watching video clips and taking turns with other fun interactive elements — you can even create your own game player and add a fun funky accessory.
What Canadian parents are saying about Game of Life zAPPED edition
We love the Game of Life and have almost every version ever made. What is great about this new version is the way they have combined technology with a real board game. The kids love counting out money and taking turns being the banker (something you don’t get with an electronic counter), the videos are funny, the interaction with the iPad makes the game more interesting and helps the game to move along a little faster than the original version. The make-your-own characters are cute and the accessories are fun – my son likes the ipod! — Nathan and Heather.
