The Game of Life: Twists & Turns (2007)

About this game

In the new version, the winner is not the person with the most money, but the one who earns the most "life points" — a mix of wealth and life experiences, he says. Instead of cash, each player holds a colored Visa card. They're the size of real cards, but numbers and letters are printed, not embossed. Cards aren't swiped, but placed in an electronic device that stores player data. Players can go into debt on the card.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 9 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
