How do you make anything better? You add precious furry friends into the mix!

Finally—cute little cat and dog pegs can join your brightly colored car as you journey through the game board in the Game of Life: Pets Edition.

The classic game, from Hasbro, has been officially updated to incorporate pets into the gameplay for the first time. The game is available for presale today at Amazon and at most major retailers later this summer, and will introduce cat and dog pegs and pet cards to the classic board.

Here’s how the new edition will work: All players will start out with one car, a Spin to Win token, one pink or blue peg, one pet peg, and $200k. Cards will now be split into five decks: house, action, career, college career, and pet. When players land on a pet space, draw the top “pet” card from the deck, read it aloud, and do what it says. At the end of the game, the card will be worth money. There are 15 Pet cards, which include different actions such as “passing obedience school” or “eating homework.”
