PLAYED FOR YOU
Das Spiel des Lebens Banking
Make your way!
At the start players must decide between a fast-track career and the longer university degree track, after having placed a human marker into your car and having put your colored marker on the Super Spinner Wheel. Then, in turn, you spin the Wheel of Life and move along the paths accordingly, at crossroads you must choose one of the options. You follow the instructions of the squares reached with your moves and buy life insurance if you want to and can afford it. You can take out loans, but they cost 10% on Payday. On the Super Spinner square you can win in a big way if the wheel stops at your marker. You marry, have children, acquire status symbols, and cross the customs bridge to reach your feudal mansion or your retirement home. When the last player reaches one of these destinations the richest player wins the game.
This new edition 2014 differs from the other editions by coming without playing money. Instead of paper money each player - as also in the banking editions of Monopoly - is given a so-called bank card that can be operated with the card reader also included in the game. Each card has a credit balance of 400K - this is the form in which the reader indicates sums, 400K equals 400.000; one Million is indicated by 1M - and depending on the intended transaction you put your card into the reader, type in the amount - always with K or M and then press the button for paying or the button for receiving income.
This game is yet another example of a painstaking and careful adaptation of a classic game, it has been modernized a bit, given a few new details, so it is new and yet familiar, just as you like your Game of Life.
