As is typically the case in these sorts of board game/video game mashups, the visuals of the board and pieces have all been replaced with a fun Mario theme. There are a couple of key differences between a standard match of Life and what the Mario Edition offers. Here are the two key takeaways from the product descripton:
- BATTLE BOWSER: Unlike classic The Game of Life board game, this edition isn’t about money or retirement. The ultimate goal in this board game for kids is to defeat Bowser
- MINIGAMES AND STARS: Use coins to buy stars for a boost in the battle against Bowser. Compete in fun minigames in a face-off for prizes, and power up with Items and Companions
The Game of Life: Super Mario Edition is available at fine retailers all over the country. You can pick up a copy here from Target or the outlet of your choice.
