Das Spiel des Lebens junior

Adventure at the amusement park

This junior version of „Das Spiel des Lebens“ offers players a fabulous day at the amusement park. Each player chooses one of the cute cards and puts it at the start. Then you get three guest-of-honor cards - you can visit those attraction to acquire an extra star. In your turn you spin the Wheel of Life and hurl across the board with your car, always in clockwise direction, following the arrows. When you reach an attraction, you can stop, maybe at the Zoo or the waterpark. You need not move the full number of steps. If necessary you pay the entrance fee to the bank and take a star for your adventure card. If you hold a guest-of-honor card for this attraction, you take a second star und turn over the card as being used. You can only visit each attraction once and only when you have enough money to pay for entry. The “Spaßbahn” takes you to the other side of the board quickly - saves you the long way round - and also gives you a star. When your turn ends on a yellow Action case, you draw an action card. Those cards challenge you to an action, for instance play-acting, singing or telling a story. Completing those tasks will give you either stars for your adventure card or you earn pocket money to pay entrance fees. If you are first to collect ten stars, you win the game.

The design of the game board and the Wheel of Life come from the original game Das Spiel des Lebens. Topic and flow of the game are clearly different, but lots of fun and an adult or a fellow player who can read will surely help with the texts on the action cards, if the symbols on the cards are not sufficient for self-explanation.
