Jinsei Game (人生ゲーム; 'Life Game') is a Japanese board game released in 1968 by the toy company Takara. It is an adaptation of the North American classic The Game of Life, which was originally created by Milton Bradley in 1860. Unlike its American predecessor, Jinsei Game starts players as toddlers and requires them to progress through elementary school, junior high, and high school before choosing to attend university or begin a career. The game has been updated numerous times and has been enjoyed by generations of Japanese children.
