    Overview

    Jinsei Game is the Japanese equivalent of The Game of Life, a board game that allows multiple players to compete to get the best life (as measured by monetary gain). To do this, players move around a board, encountering events that may raise or lower their status, and make occasional decisions with regards to their future livelihoods. Most Jinsei Game adaptations actually begin players at childhood, either in kindergarten or grade school, before they eventually age to maturity and then must navigate the adult world.

    Most Jinsei Game adaptations contain the words "Jinsei Game" in their title and have Takara's involvement, usually as a publisher.

    The Bakushou!! Jinsei Gekijou games from Taito are considered a separate property, despite also being based on the same board game.
