For the past few years WMS has held an art show comprised of work created by employees from throughout the company. This isn't limited to just the artists. Instead all employees are encouraged to create and submit something inspired by the theme that is selected for that year. This year, the theme was "Hasbro Games" as Hasbro is one of the licenses that WMS/SGI has. I decided to take something as innocuous as The Game of Life and turn it into something more. Inspired by movie posters of the 70s I set out to create a version of the game where the stakes were much higher than simply getting married and having kids. The goal of the game was to make it out alive.
