Did you used to play the board game LIFE, with those little cars with room for a pink mom, a blue dad, and two kids in the backseat as you motored predictably through college, job, marriage, home-buying, etc?
Japanese toymaker Takara Tomy is coming out with a "spicy" version of the game where a lousy economy, gambling sprees, shotgun weddings, and disappearing family members are the norm.
The name of the game comes from a Japanese idiom meaning "life's a roller coaster" and is expected to hit the stores in April.
I used to run over my kids with my little car lol, normally because i'd end up with too many kids to fit in. I guess my comment isn't any better lol.
Ah, now that's fun...
P.S. Gauldar--LOL!
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!
