RULES:
The object of the game is to be the player with the most money at the end. The youngest player goes first then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn, spin the spinner and move your car forward, along the path following the direction of the arrows, by the number of spaces spun. You may not move backwards. When you pass a green payday space, collect your salary as indicated on your career card. If you land on a green payday space, then you collect an additional 100K bonus.
When you land on an action space, take the top action card from the deck, read it aloud (except for the yellow highlighted text at the bottom) and follow the instructions. Keep the action cards you draw in facedown pile by you until the end of the game to earn more money.
When you land on a spin to win space, all players choose a number on the spin to win wheel and place their token on that number. You get to put a second silver token on a second number since you landed on the space. Spin the spinner until a number with a token on it comes up. That player wins 200K and the tokens are returned.
When you land on a baby space, add as many pegs to your car as the space tells you and add them to your car. When you land on a house space, you may choose to buy a house, sell a house, or do nothing. To buy a house, draw the top 2 cards from the house deck and pick one. Pay the bank the purchase price and return the other to the bottom of the deck. Place the newly purchased home faceup in front of you. You may own more than one house. To sell a house, spin the spinner and look at the center colored area to see if it is red or black. Collect the sale price as indicated on the card by the color from the bank, then return the card to the bottom of the deck.
When you land on a pet space, draw a pet card, read it aloud and do what it says. Add the card to your collection of action cards until the end of the game for more money.
When you come to a stop space, you must stop moving, even if you had moves left. After resolving your stop you always spin and move again. Each stop space is different, and are as follows:
“Graduation”. Take the top 2 college career cards from the deck, pick one to put faceup in front of you and put the other back under the deck.
“Get Married”. Add another people peg to your car, then spin. If you spin red, every other player gives you 50K. If you spin black, then every other player gives you 100K.
“Night School”. If you don’t want to change your career, you don’t have to. If you want to change your career. Pay the bank 100K. Take the top college career card from the deck. If you want it, swap it with your current career card, if not, put it back under the deck.
“Family”. Pick a direction to travel.
“Baby”. Spin the spinner to see how many babies you’ve had. Add the appropriate people pegs to your car.
“Risky”. Pick a direction to travel.
If ever you don’t have enough money to pay a debt or buy something, you must take out a bank loan. The banker gives you 50K plus 1 white bank loan each time you borrow. Pay the loan back at any time by returning it, along with 60K to the bank.
When you reach the retirement space, choose whether to go to the millionaire mansion or the countryside acres. Park your car, kick back, and wait for everyone else to retire. Collect your retirement bonus from the bank as follows: The first to retire receives 400K. the 2nd receives 300K, the 3rd receives 200K, and the 4th receives 100K.
Once everyone has retired, everyone pays back their debts and add up their wealth. Sell all your houses. Collect 100K for each action and pet card you have. Collect 50K for each baby you have. Pay the bank 60K for each loan. Add all your cash together. The player with the most money wins!

When I was a kid, we only collected 50k when landing exactly on the Salary space, no just passing. Did they change the rule, or were we playing wrong? I do remember we were always broke, with tons of debts, so that could've been the reason, lol.
Its a bit like Monopoly but with an end.

Reuben Klamer the toy inventor of "The Game of Life" died on 9/14/21 He also created the phaser rifle used in the" Star Trek" TV series. It's amazing that a man who created one of the most popular games in US history ended up being it's biggest winner of all. He lived to be 99 years old. Obviously he knew a lot more about winning in the real game of life than anybody ever gave him credit for.

We just played the 2007 edition tonight and it is INSANE how much this game has changed since this point. This game is constantly changing with each revision- some of the rules stated here may be accurate for the current version of the game but according to the rule book we read tonight would not be permitted. Read the rules of your book carefully, I suppose!
Very well explained, thank you!
Man, I he up with my family's traditional 1950-60's versions of these games. Life, Yhatzee, Monopoly. The games rules were so different. If you can get em please show some the old school ones. They were so different! Life had revenge spaces and all kinds of evil stuff.

College career deck(or which ever you started the game with).
I was expecting some kind of second level play strategy, for some reason, not a manual summary. You should do a second one, Mastering X, because even simple games have some next level stuff. Looking at the base rules, clearly there is some career strategy related to the upper and lower bounds, and a house strategy as well.

It's not actually that bad, at least in my experience. My least favourite part of it are the action cards that say 'whoever spins the highest gets x money' which for me really slow the game down and is just annoying due to their abundance. That being said, there are a few factors which make make me prefer my 1985 edition, but the advantage of this game is its simplicity. That being said, I agree with the sentiment of your comment.
so you add up the money and the money you get from the cards? plz reply

Object of the game: get your token to the center of the board and shout "jumanji!" rhino space: if you land here then you will take the rhino and put it in front of another player and they cant move unless they roll an even number on their turn. 5 or 8 space: player that lands on this cant move unless they roll 5 or 8 on their next turn. Blank space: take a card. Stick it in the decoder and read it out loud. Look at the symbol and number on the card. Flip the hour glass and everyone rolls the rescue die until they roll the matching symbol on the card. If you get it in time, you move forward the number of spaces. If you dont roll it in time, you go backward the number of spaces and place the card on the doomsday grid(left side card spaces). If the doomsday grid gets full, then everyone loses. Jungle Space:(big circle) if you land here, everyone does what you do for a blank space, accept, everyone moves the number of spaces.
