The Classic Board Game is a faithful

most money.During the game you collect
LIFE tiles that are redeemed for cash at the end of the game.
Enhanced Game
The Enhanced Game expands the gameplay by replacing the LIFE tiles
from the classic game with “Life’s Little Games.” These are games of chance
that give you the opportunity to make money when you land on LIFE
spaces.They also sometimes provide you with the opportunity to exact
“Revenge”on the other players.Finally, you spin to determine the price of
your house,which is then sold back to the bank when you retire at a gain or
a loss.The goal is still the same,to retire with the most money!

THE GAMEPATH SPACES
As you move along the gamepath,notice the space colors – they’re important!
Some spaces require you to do something,while others give you choices.
PAY DAY Spaces (Green)
You are paid your salary every time you land on
or pass a PAY DAY space. In the Enhanced Game,
if you land on a Pay Day square,you get Revenge
and can draw your salary from another player.
LIFE Spaces (Yellow)
Classic Game
You collect a LIFE Tile whenever you land
on a LIFE space.(These include the baby
spaces!) LIFE tiles are exchanged at the
end of the game for money and thus
contribute to your overall net worth.
Enhanced Game
If you land on the Baby,Married,Pension and
Retire Life spaces,you spin to collect presents
from other players.When you land on any other
Life space,you will be directed to spin again for your fate.Each of the
possible outcomes resulting from the spin has a certain message and
result associated with it.This can affect you (or other players) in a positive
or negative way,and thus affect the final outcome of the game.Players can
win money instantly,win revenge on another player,land on a multiplier
space,or land on one of “Life’s Little Games.”
15
College–This choice costs $40,000 (which is automatically borrowed
from the bank).You will make your career and salary choices later.
However,when you do make these choices,you will get to choose
between three careers and three salaries,so your chance of financial
success is greater.
When the time comes,pull the handle on the career machine to see your
career choices.Click on the career you desire.Next push three buttons
on the cash register to see your salary choices.Then click on the salary
that you would like to earn.Going to college gives you career
opportunities not available if you choose the career path.
Career–With this choice,you immediately start your career and earn a
salary.Pull the handle on the career machine to realize your career.Next
push a button on the cash register to begin earning a salary.
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OF LIFE
Play continues alternating between players.Your car will move along the
gameboard the number of spaces that you spin on the wheel.If you land on
a space that is already occupied by another player, you will automatically
move to the next free space.As the game progresses,players will get
married,have children,buy a home, possibly change careers,take vacations
and experience “life”in a variety of ways.Eventually,all players will retire.
The player who retires with the most money is the winner.

If you retire to MILLIONAIRE ESTATES,your LIFE tiles are not safe! If the
draw pile runs out,players may take LIFE tiles from you when they land
on LIFE spaces.
If you retire to the COUNTRYSIDE ACRES,collect one extra LIFE tile.Here
your LIFE tiles are safe.If the draw pile runs out,players cannot take LIFE
tiles from you when they land on LIFE spaces.
The player with the most money, after all players have retired,is the
winner.Money consists of actual cash on hand and LIFE tiles.
Enhanced Game
If you think you might have the most money, go to MILLIONAIRE
ESTATES (any number of players may retire there).Otherwise,choose
COUNTRYSIDE ACRES.Wherever you decide to retire,you will continue
to spin in gameplay order and receive the results of your investments.
Sometimes you’ll win and other times you’ll lose.Play continues for all
players until the last player retires.
If you retire to MILLIONAIRE ESTATES,you are not completely protected!
If a player lands on a “revenge”opportunity during one of Life’s Little
Games,the player can take revenge on you.In Millionaire Estates you
have the chance of winning or losing large amounts of money on your
aggressive investments.
If you retire to COUNTRYSIDE ACRES,you are protected from other
players.If a player lands on a “revenge”opportunity during one of Life’s
Little Games,the player CANNOT take revenge on you. In Countryside
Estates,you have a chance of winning money in relatively small amounts.
The player with the most money, after all players have retired,is the winner.
23
Buy a House
When you reach this space you will stop– even
if you have moves left.Spin to determine your
house and immediately pay the bank the price
of the house.If you’re short of cash,you must
borrow from the bank.(See “Bank Loans”on
page 20.) Finally,spin the spinner and move on.

house! In the upper right window of the “Buy a
House”screen,use the left and right ar row buttons to see a variety of
homes.Then click the “B UY THIS HOUSE”button.Next click on the spinner
to see how much it costs you.It could cost you a fortune...or you could
inherit it for free! Finally,spin again to move on.

stop—even if you have moves remaining.
On the last space,turn in your career and salary,
pay your debts,sell back your house,give up
your insurance,and make a retirement choice:
Countryside Acres or Millionaire Estates.
Countryside Acres is safer,but Millionaire
Estates,though risky,might get you the big win.
In either case,stock certificates are still valid
and you will still collect if a player spins your number.
Classic Game
If you think you might have the most money, go to MILLIONAIRE
ESTATES (any number of players may retire there).Otherwise,choose
COUNTRYSIDE ACRES.Wherever you decide to retire,wait there until all
