It's called 'Life!' and was created in a drunken day by a friend of mine many years ago. I've played it twice and it always makes a night in with friends.
In the course of the game you have a roleplay (esque) character who has to get from one end of life to the other. Along the way they step on various squares and receive cards - these cards refer to events in the character's life and are split into young/middle age/old age.
The young ones are the most energetic, players find themselves doing egg and spoon races down the road, star jumps, playing hide and seek - or any number of things. Middle age tends to involve the most drinking, and the most drinking style games, whilst Old age contains the most roleplay and acting - the outcomes of these activities affect the stats.
The game lasts hours, and is very intense in it's variety/action/drinking. By the old age section, the players really do feel infirm and for most, death is a blessed relief. This wearying from youthful enthusiasm is one of the real joys of the game.
When everyone has reached death, they tell their life story using notes they have written during the game, they then count up all the stats and each player declares themselves the winner.
Rather like life then.
