Product Description

Editorial Review
The art of family storytelling often needs a jump-start. Life Stories is just the game to bring extra voltage to your family gatherings. It's noncompetitive and comfortable to play because there are no right or wrong answers, only stories, thoughts, and dreams. Players advance by rolling the dice, taking a card and following directions like: "Where would you live if you could live anywhere?" or "Describe one of your best or worst teachers." If the card is something players would rather not talk about, they pick an alternative, such as "Ask each player to imitate a snore." Players finish at the board's center, where stories and positive comments are celebrated. Children under 10 will enjoy this game more in the company of adults. This is a Parents Choice Award winner. --Lee Strucker

5.0 out of 5 stars Four hours of insight and fun, November 29, 1999

By A Customer

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Like another reviewer, we played this game for four hours! It was a wonderful way to learn fun tidbits about family and friends. At first, some of the questions seemed basic or silly, but before you knew it, we were laughing and telling stories that had us all anxious to hear the next question. I'd recommend this game to anyone who loves their family and friends, but even more to those you'd like to know a little better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great inter-generational family activity!!, July 14, 1999

I have played this game with groups of youth and adults. I would recommend this game, especially for families to play together on a rainy afternoon. If you have several generations of you family together, it can be an excellent conversation starter. Life Stories can really get people to reminisce about past memories and experiences. I didn't really use the "board game" as it was intended, but the questions are great motivators. You might want to tape record or video this game for family members who aren't able to be there. You will learn things about your family members that you never knew before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome group fun!, August 29, 2000

By	Susan (St. Louis, Missouri) - See all my reviews

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I've played this game three times and had three wonderful experiences. The first time was with three generations of family members. Everyone from Grandma to my 7-year-old was totally engaged in the converstation that was sparked, and the stories that came out that night have been retold many time since. The second time was with a group of adults I worked with. The bonding we all felt at the end of the evening caught everyone by surprise. The third time was with a group of adults, some of whom were new to our group. Again, everyone had a great experience! Buy this game and settle in for a long evening of fun and conversation!
