Was your mother's love measured by the circumference of her meatballs? Or was it stored in a Tupperware container to keep for a later date? Whether she was perfectly doting or passive aggressive, here's your chance to have the mother you never had or to relive your happy childhood. If you've ever had a mother, you need to play this game. Because whether you win or lose, it's guaranteed to be more fun than a barrel full of...well...mothers.

By answering a series of pop culture, pop psychology, history, trivia, and other ridiculously humorous mother-related questions like "Which sandwich most effectively alleviates guilt; turkey on whole wheat or corned beef on rye?" players move ahead one square. Or by role playing and acting out commands such as "Go 1 minute without showing any emotions" players move ahead 2 squares to move around the board and be the first one "in the will", while trying to avoid taking a "guilt trip", going to "therapy", doing a stint in "jail/rehab" or spending time in a "monastery/bunker".
