In The Game of Life, players work their ways around a 3-D game board that replicates a life's journey through adulthood. Fortunes are made and lost; players face success, failure, and revenge. The objective of the game is to be the first to complete the life course. Here the player chooses to retire to Millionaire Acres or gamble at being a millionaire tycoon--the automatic winner of the game. Milton Bradley first offered The Game of Life in 1960, and it was designed by famed toy and game designer Ruben Klamer. The year 2010 saw the introduction of the "Special Anniversary Edition" of Life, commemorating the 50th anniversary of its introduction. And in 2011 Hasbro announced another completely new edition, the "Adventures" edition. In an effort, perhaps, to update the game's play, players now choose from several divergent career paths and move among islands upon the game board. And the board itself can spin and change position, helping a player to baffle his or her opponents.
