Game Review: My kids loved Monsters Inc so it follows they would like the Game of Life themed after the Monsters Inc. movie. This is a cute spin on the classic Life game. The major differences are thematic. You earn "hollers" as you go about your career (maybe you are a CDA Agent), pick a home (want to live in a Creature Co-op?), adopt a pet (one-eyed fish, anyone?), and pay your rent. All of the elements you'd expect are here, and the player with the highest net worth when they reach Gargoyle Island Beach Resort is the winner! If you like the Game of Life, and Monsters Inc. you and your kids will love this game!
