Forgotten games (2): The Game of Life
"Life" is pretty easy to play. You throw a (virtual) die to determine each element of your family. After that you give them all names according to the rules you got.
- First you throw the die to determine the parents’ attributes.
- Then you throw the die to determine what happened at the first birth, and throw to determine the naming rules and colouring of that child (/for each of those children).
- Then you throw the die to determine what happened at the second birth, and throw to determine the naming rules and colouring of that child (/for each of those children).
- Then you throw the die to determine what happened at the third birth, and throw to determine the naming rules and colouring of that child (/for each of those children).
- Feel free to add ages or any other description / story to your family.
