Actually, as far as board games go, it's one I actually enjoy playing. Anyway, do our kids really need a "spicy" version of Life? Let them for a few years live in a world where their worst problem is an uncle leaving them a skunk farm in his will!

If this game is PG-13, then I've got to get it. It's got to be more interesting than "Life".

I was wondering recently what had happened to the game and how it had evolved over the years. Interesting.
