Lifeline by John Hancock Insurance Company / American Publishing Corporation"Lifeline" was a give-away, educational game back in the 1960s by John Hancock Insurance Company and, as you might expect, it is about Life Insurance. Each player assumes the role of the Head of the family and the goal of the game is to obtain insurance coverage in relationship to their income and responsibilities. It all packages up neatly into a small 12" by 4" by 1" box and includes a folding circular playing board with built-in spinner and wood playing pawns. Very rare game.

Game components include : Gameboard w/ Spinner, 4 wooden Pawns, 40 Insurance Policy cards, 14 Budget cards, 21 Salary cards, 16 Playing pieces (4 wives, 4 houses & 8 children), Play money & instructions.

Two to four players. No age given but around 9 & up. John Hancock Insurance Company / American Publishing Corporation from 1965. American Publishing also published several other games. I am looking into those games.
