Ever felt like being an adult is just a constant struggle to balance bills, mental health, and the desperate urge to sleep for 12 hours straight? That's exactly the chaos Adulthood brings to your table! In a game that blends strategy with the irony of modern existence, you and your friends (or just you, if you're in hermit mode) must manage three fundamental resources: Time, Energy, and Money. The goal? Try to climb the ladder of success or, perhaps, simply make a difference in others' lives, all while trying not to have a total meltdown in the process.

Every turn forces you to make tough calls. Do you burn your energy at work to fill your pockets with cash? Or do you invest time in wellness to ensure your other efforts are more effective? The game features various progress tracks where you seek out experiences, try to find a partner to build a relationship, and deal with unexpected Life Events—because, let's be honest, life is never a straight line. Tim Brierly's art captures all this daily absurdity with a visual style that perfectly matches the satirical tone of the game.

The worker placement and hand management mechanics ensure that every decision carries weight. You can't do everything, so the key is prioritization. Is it worth sacrificing sleep for that big promotion? Or does happiness come from simple experiences? The game ends the moment a player's Happiness and Impact tracks meet, crowning whoever navigated the hardships of adulthood most effectively. It's a life simulator with a dash of acid humor, perfect for those who enjoy management games with a theme that everyone can relate to.
