The Game of Life

Richard Rusczyk, Introduction to Algebra (Alpine: AoPS Incorporated, 2007), p. xvi:


The Game of Life ended for John Conway on April 11, 2020.

Palladas (Greek Anthology 10.72, tr. J.W. Mackail):
All life is a stage and a game: either learn to play it,
    laying by seriousness, or bear its pains.

σκηνὴ πᾶς ὁ βίος καὶ παίγνιον· ἢ μάθε παίζειν
    τὴν σπουδὴν μεταθεὶς, ἢ φέρε τὰς ὀδύνας.
