  • Interviewing costs 1 Time. The first printing of the rulebook is in error.

  • You can only complete actions once each round- if you spend 4 time at your basic Community action you will not move up twice on the Impact track.

  • You may always overspend time and energy on actions, without gaining the effects an additional time. This may help you unlock other card effects!

careers & partners

  • You can always interview for a new career or cheat on your spouse by going on dates while you’re Promoted or Married! If you play those cards though, you’ll have to move your career card to your Experiences stack/discard your Spouse to replace them with the new card. You’ll also lose any Promoted/Married tokens and will have to take the action to get Promoted/Married again.

  • Make individual discard piles for any discarded Career and Partner cards. When the decks run out, shuffle the discarded cards to form new piles.

  • The Plumber only needs to Interview once grown up to get promoted, no icons required!

  • No. Since you must pay all your action costs before taking any other actions, you can’t work your promoted actions the same turn you get promoted, you can only do your basic action. You don’t get the pay increase until your next paycheck!

  • There is no limit to the amount of Career and Partner cards in your hand.

solo mode

  • The Slash between two icons on Achievement cards means that you must collect that amount of either or both of those icons. To get the third tier of “The Kindest”, you could collect 7 Social icons, 7 Serving icons, 3 of one and 4 of the other, or any combination of them as long as they add to at least 7!

  • Yes, in Solo Mode every Life Event will move to your Experiences Stack

  • As soon as the cards are revealed in the next round, you may complete the Meditate effects.

  • If the last Life Event would affect the next round, like New Years Resolution, the game ends before those extra effects can occur, so you’re safe!

miscellaneous

  • Early prototypes of the game called the Adulthood Ceck the “Life Deck”. Unfortunately, a few instances of that snuck into the first printing, but have been fixed! The “Life Deck” refers to the Adulthood Deck.

  • You may discard any Experience cards still in your hand.

  • There is no hand limit for cards in your hand.

  • No, you do not draw any Life Events for any Life Event spaces you may pass during end of game scoring.

  • Yes! NFT will provide you two Shady icons, and Master’s Degree provides two Education icons.

  • Yes, cards can be played and drafted in any order on your turn, during the step that allows them.

  • Your life refers to all the cards you have in play and in your Experiences stack.

  • Yes! The icons in your Experience Stack are perfect for helping you get promoted or play certain cards.
