Interesting idea. The execution was very on-the-nose, so to speak - so I would have liked more subtlety.
The message at the end of each game would work better if each life was much longer.
Though, the game is alright for what it is. The morals behind it are rather bleak, though they harbor some greater truths.
It's called a game of chance because it (and life) are out of your control. I think that's worth something.
