The Game of Life
is the Japanese version of the board game that is called "The Game of Life" in North America. Unlike "The Game of Life", the player starts in his toddler years and has to go to elementary school, junior high school, and high school before being allowed to either go to university or start his career. However, the board game has been updated numerous times like its North American counterpart. It was released in 1967 by toy company called Takara. It has been enjoyed by Japanese boys and girls for generations.
