Description

Careers is a classic game that's all about setting your own path to success. Players choose their own victory conditions, aiming for a combination of Fame, Happiness, and Money that adds up to 60 points. You might go all in on Happiness, or try to balance all three - it's up to you. To get there, you'll navigate through different occupation paths, each with its own prerequisites and benefits. Some paths are better suited to certain strategies, like Hollywood for Fame or Going to Sea for Happiness. As you move through the game, you'll roll dice and make your way through the occupation paths, trying to be the first to reach your goal. With simple rules and a playtime of just 60 minutes, Careers is a fun and accessible game for 2 to 6 players. First published in 1955, it's a timeless economic game that's all about making your own way to the top.
