Help[Games] Year Game
I pulled this from one of my old posts. Enjoy!
Year Game
What do I do?
Easy! Simply roll the die and follow the instructions! I also find it interesting to write a few sentences (or paragraphs) about the family you create. Its amazing how the characters take on a life of their own. You can do as many or as few years as you like--some people do 5, some 10, some 15--and some do multiple generations!
