The game of Life has become less popular recently, as its portrayal of life isn’t really accurate anymore. Hasbro has responded to this by making a new version of the game called “Modern Life”. The new version of the game has the following updates that better reflect the state of life today:
In Life, student loans are $40,000 and you just need to pay them back before you retire. In Modern Life, loans are $200,000 and it is unclear whether or not you have to pay them back.
In Modern Life, housing options including parents basement, six roommates in three bedroom apartment and park bench
Life had an even distribution of salaries for all players. In Modern Life, all salaries are $30,000 per year except for one player who gets $10,000,000 per year. Usually their parents did too.
In Life you can retire at Millionaire Estates or Countryside Acres. In Modern Life you can die with your boots on.
In Life, things happen on every square, representing life events happening continuously over time. In Modern Life, 10% of the board just says “COVID Years” and nothing happens there.
In Modern Life, stocks have been replaced with modern equivalents, such as scam coins, Ponzi schemes and empty promises of financial prosperity.
In Life, the person with the most money wins. In Modern Life, the person with the most money also wins!
