Default Milton Bradley's "The Game of Life": Do Any Non-North Americans Know This Game?
I am writing a paper about it.

Is this board game only sold in North America? Anyone ever heard of it that's not from North America?

Thanks for replying! I've procrastinated a paper and I'm trying to decide if the game is Americanized or Euro-North Americanized. This helps a lot.

I don't want it, I just need it, to breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.
