No, you can't cheat death, but you can profit from it. The game is based on the popular Dying For Dollars game. Their Life is intended to fill the void left by that game's demise. The game is very simple. In December, each player composes a list of famous people who they believe will not be around to ring in the next New Year.
Players receive points for each person on their list who kicks the bucket during the year.
The fewer players who pick a particular celebrity, the more points are scored by those who do. The players who score the most points by year's end split the money in the pot. Their Life can become addictive. It can quickly become more than just a game. Once you enter, you may begin to find your self turning to the obituaries when you first open the morning paper.
