The Game of Lent

Back in 1999, there was an episode of The Simpsons in which the kids were under a curfew, so Marge suggested playing one of the games the family owned, and their choices were: Citizenship, Energy Shortage Game, Hippo in the House and The Game of Lent. The kids chose Hippo in the House (only to find that the hippo was missing), and The Game of Lent went back on the shelf. Ever since then, I’ve wondered from time to time what a board game of Lent would be like.
