Last week we went shopping for some good old-fashioned family board games. Winter is lasting forever and the kids, particularly Sammy, needed a deterrant from the Wii. We came home with the Game of Life and Sorry Sliders.
I never played the Game of Life as a kid and was shocked to find out that sprinkled throughout the game are squares that allow you to sue a player of your choice for $100,000. There are also squares called "Spin to Win" that allow you to place a bet on the number of your choice and spin the wheel. If it lands on the number you bet on, you double your money.
So there you have it, suing and gambling. The only upside is that Sammy also learned that investing money in a house means that you have that asset later to sell when you want to retire. Just what every 7-year-old needs to know about life, right?
P.S. Sorry Sliders is a fun game that preschoolers can play but is still entertaining for older kids and adults.

I use to play Life as a kid, but I don't remember suing or gambling. I just remember always having twins!
