I've never played LIFE before and I got the vintage edition because I had bought the SORRY vintage edition earlier and had thoroughly enjoyed it. But the pieces don't fit and the spinner is ridiculously hard to work one reason being it doesn't fit on the board, making it uneven. And the little people in the cars fall out easily as well. Like I said, I've never played this game before, so I have never owned another board to compare this to. However, considering a lot of people have had the same problem, I don't think I'm too far off base.

Like one of the other reviewers, I saw this at Target, and since I remembered playing as a kid, I wanted to share that fun with my 9 & 10 year old who have never played. I remember whiling away the hours with my sibs playing this game and it was loads of fun, especially when we would make up our own rules for playing the market! But the way this so called vintage game is constructed, it's an insult to its predecessor. First of all, the pieces aren't formed correctly so they don't all fit properly. Then, when I tried snap in the number wheel, (just like the other reviewer), there was a big gap in the board. I love this game so much, that I was willing to overlook that until I was spinning the number wheel and trying to "loosen" it up, the clicker (?) came right off! (I'm talking about the pointy piece of plastic makes contact with the number wheel every time it goes around.) That was the last straw. I'm taking it back and I'm getting a good old fashioned one. BTW, it looks like you would have to construct and consequently de-construct the whole game every time in order to get it back into it's original box. Well, based on the way they built this thing, it's apparent they're not expecting you to play it alot, anyway. Vintage-Shmintage.

I love all the games from the vintage edition. I'm so sick of the old boxes in my closets - I wanted the games in my bookshelf where I could keep them neat and in plain sight for people to see. I like board games and these are perfect for me and my family.

I found this game at Target and I thought it was such a great idea so I bought it. When I got it home, I tried to put it all together, come to find out the pieces were to big for the board or didnt fit right. The board wouldnt close all the way when you put in the wheel so we had to play with a big split in the board. The cars holes were too small and wouldnt hold the people so they kept falling out every time you would move the piece. The pieces are cheaply made,not like the orginal game.
I think the set is awesome but I would only buy the ones that you dont have to put together
