Yea it’s similar to the Game of Life but with a twist it has other games like Monopoly as well as the original Pay Day). Some cards and spaces in the game can make you have a happy life, be rich, have wonderful things. But it can turn from happy to sad. By going into debt, getting a divorce (ouch!), losing custody of your kids, going to jail, etc. (See the twist??). But remember this is just a game. It can change at any time every time you play it. This game is different from the classic games that inspired me including the following: Life, Monopoly and Payday the reason why different is that the board is hand painted with some game pieces from other games; the cards have hand drawings on them. It’s just HOMEMADE… But would not be able to do it without the idea from the other games. Ideas are the same but worded
