 The Dr. Laura Game
Added Feb. 20, 2000

The Feb. 14, 2000 issue of Newsweek included a rare mention of board games -- on page 6 in the "Periscope" section of the magazine.

Share your thoughts about this news and anything else related to board games on the Board Games Forum.
According to Newsweek, a new game from talk radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger is available. "Eighteen million people allign their moral compass with combative radio talk-show host ... Schlessinger," the magazine wrote. "Her new game lets you play backseat buttinsky on matters of money, marriage, relationships, parenting -- and whether or not 'this creep is planning to steal the kids, too, or just abandon them.'"

Judging solely from that description, give me Scruples any day.

Although the "Periscope" blurb didn't mention what company is releasing the game, the small photo they ran of the game box seems to have the Hasbro logo on it. However, Hasbro's Web site doesn't seem to mention the game.
