pinksoniaPlaying Life: the Indiana Jones version with a bunch of archaeologists is rather amusing. Leading to conversations like:
Player one: (reading card) A research institution gives you a grant take $100,000.
Player two: I wish I could get a grant that easily.
P1 (again reading card): One of the the professors in your department likes your work and gives you an artifact. Take a life tile.
P2: How come none of my professors every gave me priceless artifacts.
P3: I never got any either.
P2: (can you see where this is going) You steal a bi-plane and find a priceless artifact in the cockpit.
P3: Clearly this job should be much easier. Artifacts are just hiding everywhere. Steal something, get a prize. Get up in the morning, another prize. Oh look, an antique shop bet there's another artifact inside.
By the end we came to the conclusion that artifacts are extremely common, archaeologists are very glamorous, and that we should be traveling to much more exotic locals than Clearview, Florida. Also, I win at life (particularly when I get two relics and four companions - go me).
