The Game of Life: A Jedi's Path (2002)

About this game

Jedi Knight or Sith Lord? Awesome warrior or mystical thinker? These are the choices players face in GAME OF LIFE: A JEDI'S PATH. As players move their aspiring Jedi around the board (passing tests, doing battle, learning lessons, going on missions, and building their light-sabers), they build their connection to the Force in four ways - Logic, Intuition, Fighting, and Energy. Along the way, players can choose the Jedi path or the riskier/quicker "Dark Path." But be careful, once you go down the dark side, there may not be redemption for you. At the end of the game, the mightiest Jedi and the darkest Sith square off to determine the most powerful Force-user in the Galaxy.

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.
