About the game
Verflixxt kompakt is the little brother of That's Life!. The game pieces are smaller and there are only 26 instead of 32 path tiles (5 Minus cards and 1 good luck tile fewer). It only plays up to four players, and each player only has two pawns if playing 3- or 4-player. The game plays much like That's Life!, with a few minor differences. Verflixxt kompakt includes a new variant you can also incorporate when playing That's Life!. The new extra piece is called the Wurminator and is a big worm that can change the number of negative tiles players have when it lands on their pawns.
