Want to Play a Game, Mother?

Have a strained relationship with your mother? Here’s some therapy: ad veteran Audrey DeVries’ new board game, simply titled Mother.

Players answer questions about the habits, tics and neuroses of four basic types of mom: passive-aggressive, doting, overbearing and best friend. (Q: According to your overbearing mother, why are you superior? A: Because you have her genes. Q: In what physical activity should a doting mother never take part? A: Sex.) DeVries, 46, survived an overbearing/passive-aggressive mother to go on to work as a creative at DeVito/Verdi and BBDO (she has no connection to the London agency Mother).
