About this game
The Game of Life is a board game based on the classic board game of the same name. 2 to 6 players (local and internet play is supported, as well as computer players) will compete against each other to retire with the most money, traveling around the game board to see where life takes them.
Player customization is included; players can set the car they drive and their appearance.

Games can be saved and loaded.
Options include animations that play when moving or landing on spaces, as well as the narration and background music.
The game includes two modes.
Classic mode is designed to be a faithful recreation of the board game.
Enhanced mode replaces the LIFE tiles with "Life's Little Games", which are gameshow-style minigames. (For example: uncover spaces with hidden money, but if you hit a skunk space, all winnings will be lost; or move a trash can to catch falling balls.) It is possible for these spaces to be worth double, triple, or more.
It is also possible that the winnings can be taken from another player instead of the bank.
About Commodore Amiga
The Commodore Amiga (1985) was ahead of its time technically — multitasking, custom graphics and sound chips — and built a passionate following in Europe in particular, where it rivaled and often outsold contemporary consoles. Amiga collecting today is a niche but dedicated hobby: original boxed software on floppy disk is comparatively scarce since floppies degrade, making well-preserved complete copies genuinely valuable to the right collector.
Gamevaro tracks The Game of Life for Commodore Amiga with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Game of Life to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This AMIGA release dates back to 1992.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Game of Life, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Commodore Amiga titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
