About the game

What you do in a play session

Adulthood: Pet Projects brings a fresh layer of fun for fans of adult life simulation with a splash of adult humor. With over 40 new cards, the expansion adds pets, fresh careers, partners, life events, values, and solo achievements. Pets aren’t just cute—they turn care into happiness points and extra abilities, offering an alternate scoring path that can shift the game’s strategy for players who want to stand out. The new careers feature infinite activations, letting you play them as many times as you have the time and energy, adding flexibility and keeping the pace dynamic. The mix of mechanics—hand management, market, open drafting, track movement, and worker placement—creates a well‑balanced decision flow: you plan your cards, negotiate resources, choose where workers go, and track progress on the board. The game supports 1 to 4 players and lasts about 45 minutes, making it a great fit for a quick gaming night. The adult theme and sarcastic humor ensure the content is geared toward mature players, but life‑sim and card‑game fans will still have a blast. If you loved the original Adulthood and want a boost to the experience, this expansion is a sure bet for anyone who enjoys strategic choices with a touch of humor and adorable pets.
