The Game of Life: Scarface

Updated again. Answers now included.

Updated with more questions below. . .

Years, and I do mean years, ago, Paul and I bought a came called Life. This was not the same board game you might have played as a child. It was a trivia game based on pictures that had been in Life magazine. This game was nigh on impossible to play because you moved your piece around the board by correctly answering one of four questions on the back of a photo card. The card might show a picture of a woman standing in front of a spiral staircase. You might be asked to identify the man standing behind the woman--and that was the easy question. The first time Paul and I played the game, I think it was 45 minutes before one of us answered correctly. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was a picture of a Japanese internment camp from World War II. The pictures dated from the 30s to the early 80s. As a game, it was horrible, but it was fun to look through the pictures and check out the questions and answers.

As I was sorting some pictures today, I came across one of the cards from that game. So, today, at Life, the Universe and Everything, we have a trivia game. The second through fourth questions will give away the answer, so I'll start with the first question. Now, I'll have to admit, that after complaining about how hard the game was, I think this will be an easy answer.

A. Terry Sawchuk sustained these injuries playing what game and at what position before masks were required.



After someone submits the right answer, I'll post the remaining three questions.
