"The Game of Life, also known simply as LIFE, is a board game originally created in 1860 by Milton Bradley,
as The Checkered Game of Life (and later produced by the Milton Bradley Company of Springfield, Massachusetts).
The Game of Life was America's first popular parlor game. The game simulates a person's travels through his or
her life, from college to retirement, with jobs, marriage, and possible children along the way.

The modern version was originally published 100 years later, in 1960. It was created by toy and game designer
Reuben Klamer and was "heartily endorsed" by Art Linkletter. It is now part of the permanent collection of the
Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.

The modern game consists of a track on which players travel by spinning a small wheel (in the center of the board)
with spaces numbered 1 through 10. The board also contains small mountains, buildings, and other three-dimensional
objects. Playing pieces are small, colored, plastic automobiles which come in red, blue, white, yellow, orange,
and green; each car has six holes in the top in which blue and/or pink "people pegs" are placed throughout the
game as the player "gets married" and has or adopts "children". Some "early modern" editions have eight automobiles.

Each game also includes a setup for a bank, which includes play money (in denominations of $5,000, $10,000, $20,000,
$50,000, and $100,000. The $500 bills were dropped in the 1980s, as were the $1,000 bills in 1992.), insurance policies
(automobile, life, fire, and/or homeowners' insurance depending on the version), $20,000 promissory notes and stock
certificates. Other tangibles vary with the game version."

Just a little bit of the history of the game, for your viewing pleasure :-)

Now..... on to the rules of OUR Game of LIFE!

~ We're going to be "traveling" through LIFE for the next 4-5 weeks, starting
with college and ending with retirement :-)
I have a lot of challenges, so who knows -- we may go for 6 weeks. LOL!

~ Starting next week, I will be posting 3 challenges/week, on Mon/Tues/Wed

~ You will receive points for each challenge. Some will have various points available,
depending on what choices you make.

~ Each week there will also be a different type of challenge -- basically a chance for
you to earn more points!

~ Each Sunday I'll do a tally for that week

~ There will be a grand prize, plus others thrown in during the event

~ NEW layouts/projects only, please!

~ You can combine challenges with Sunday sketches, but not within the game challenges
themselves

GOOD LUCK!
