You get married and when you land on a space that gets you more children, a baby magically drops into the car. There are no hints of sexuality in this Game of Life. Unsurprisingly, that has the Helen Lovejoys of the world sounding the alarm. (I’m not sure what I think about being able to marry someone who looks exactly like you.) When the time comes for you to get married, there are no limits upon who your spouse can be. The game gives you the ability to choose your character out of ten (five male and five female) options.
As a kid, one of my favorite games was The Game of Life - between filling my little car with blue and pink pegs, driving it over plastic bridges or mountains and, most importantly, spinning that colorful wheel (which made feel like a The Price is Right contestant) it had plenty to keep my young mind occupied.Īs an adult, I’ve tried out various attempts to recreate the board games of my youth as computer games and it turns out that latest version of The Game of Life is quietly gay-inclusive.
