About the game
From The University Games Website: "The newest addition to our line of Worst Case Scenario games takes players from birth to death through life's stages - youth, college, career, family - with 600 thought-provoking, fun-filled questions. With game pieces that move across the board with removable body-parts, the challenge is to get through the game with all parts intact while gathering rewards along the way. The player who accumulates the most gold pieces while losing the least body-parts is the winner."
