Paradox Interactive's upcoming life simulator, Life By You, might be an upcoming challenger to The Sims, but it shares a similar core ethos with that of a very unexpected board game: chess.
"As a game designer, one thing I enjoy so much is working with a game that clearly shouldn't have any victory conditions," Life By You studio lead Rod Humble told Edge Magazine in issue #392. "There's a lovely Italian folk saying: at the end of the game, the Queen and the Pawn get back in the same box. There aren't any winners or losers in life. You just live a life, and life sims are a great equalizer."
