Talicor Lifestories Review
My kids (10, 8, 5) LOVE this game. They mostly love it for the stories that my husband and I end up telling, it is a great way for them to learn a bit about our past and who we are. We are also quite interested in the responses our children have to the cards. If they ever draw a card that doesn't apply, they just pick up a different one.
Here are some sample questions: Where was a special place you liked to play as a child? Tell about one of the best gifts you have ever received? Tell about a famous person you have met? Thumb wrestle with the person across from you. What is your favorite time of year and why? Recall a time when you got into trouble at school? Tell about a time when you helped someone. Describe one of the worst weather conditions which you have been in.
And so on.
We've lost the game board, but still pull this game out and just grab a card and start talking.
Now I haven't actually tried to get my kids to play this with their friends, in part because we've lost the game board, but overall, this is an excellent game for bringing families closer and sharing family stories and history.

Life Stories - Board Game
Talicor Lifestories Specifications
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
