About the game

A life-simulation dice and card game where players guide a character through an entire lifetime of jobs, relationships, and adventures using a Yahtzee-style dice rolling and rerolling system. Rolled symbol sets let players acquire cards that grant ongoing benefits, new symbols, or special powers each round. At game's end, collected cards score points based on the varied paths a player's "curriculum vitae" took. A light, humorous dice game about shaping a whole life in under an hour.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's editors enjoy the whimsical premise of living out an entire alternate life through dice and cards - it makes for great table talk about the wild careers and hobbies players end up with. The push-your-luck dice mechanic keeps decisions snappy and light. It's an easy, humorous pick for casual groups who don't want a heavy strategy commitment. The dice-based engine can feel randomly imbalanced compared to more strategic euro games.
