  • This game is very similar to the Game of Human Life, an English board game. It has the same number of playing spaces, 84, and the illustrations are reverse images of the English version. The main title and the individual ones are in four languages: French, German, English and Polish. The aim is to reach immortality, and the end space of the game is the Immortal Man. It shows a memorial monument with an urn on the shoulders of women who stand on a column and steps, accompanied by four figures. On the memorial tablet are the words ‘MLEOPOLD/HERvBRAUNS/GEB1752GEST85’, which refer to Leopold of Brunswick, who drowned in 1785 while attempting to save people in a flood. He would have featured here as a model of selflessness, which was considered one of the qualities needed to attain eternal life. (en)
