  Perhaps you are friends with an insurance broker and want to suggest some games to play together, and you know nothing of his interests besides what he does for a living. Or, if you're an insurance broker yourself, and after a hard day of work you might want to unwind by playing some games. Why not relax with some games related to your insurance specialty? Instead of taxing your brain with writing policies and researching statistics and prices involved in insuring against catastrophes, you can let loose and just enjoy watching the carnage unfold.

Auto Insurance

• An auto insurance broker tired from counseling clients on insurance to protect their vehicles can have a blast playing in the thrill-seeking landscape of Grand Theft Auto, where carjackings are considered normal behavior.

Earthquake Insurance

• An earthquake insurance broker may enjoy facing the rumbles of an earthquake by building roadways at the San Andreas Fault while playing Seismic from Atlas Games.

Life Insurance

• Life insurance brokers sell policies to adults to help ensure the financial well-being of their families should they die prematurely. This can make for a gloomy mood, so an insurance broker might want to take a lighter view of things by playing Hasbro's The Game of Life. This classic board game lets players choose to go to college or immediately start a career, weigh marriage and child-rearing decisions, and of course, obtain insurance.

The Longevity Game

• Developed by the Northwestern Mutual insurance company, The Longevity Game gives players a peek into their future by pointing out how it is influenced by lifestyle factors such as weight, drinking, smoking and stress.
