"Dragon Quest: The Game of Life," where you can experience the world of Dragon Quest, is set to be released! Defeat Zoma and aim to become the legendary hero!
"Dragon Quest: The Game of Life" is a board game in which players take on the role of adventurers, gathering companions of various classes and gold (paper money) as they progress, with the ultimate goal of becoming the "Legendary Hero" by defeating the "Great Demon King Zoma" in a roulette battle.
The familiar car-shaped game pieces from "The Game of Life" have been transformed into carriages. As you gain companions along the way, you advance by inserting "companion pins"—color-coded by job class—into the carriage pieces.
The professions are...

- Hero
- Wise One
- Warrior
- Priest
- Wizard
- Rogue
There are seven classes to choose from, and you can also change your class to become a Sage or a Hero by meeting specific conditions.
The game is packed with elements unique to Dragon Quest, such as changing your class to “Sage” at the “Darma Shrine,” encountering familiar monsters like “Slimes,” and collecting items like the “World Tree’s Tear.”
