That's Life!

Pick up the good tiles, dodge the minus ten, and hope the guard stays put.

Who it's for

Family and party rounds of four or five who want a dice game with real decisions and plenty of schadenfreude.

Not for you if…

You want control or dislike being at the mercy of a single die. Bad rolls can force you onto the worst tile on the board, and a strategy-minded group will find the choices too few.

Vibe's take

Loud and teasing. Everyone watches the minus tiles like a hot potato, waiting for someone to be forced onto one.

About this game

Also known as Verflixxt!, this is a roll-and-move where the path shrinks as you play. Leave a tile alone and you collect it, good or bad, and guards sitting on tiles stop you from taking them until someone shifts them.
