About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever wondered how your life would look if you had taken different paths? In CV you become a character and, over roughly an hour, decide who they will be: a traveling magician, a millionaire executive, or anything else your imagination conjures. The game blends cards with Yahtzee‑style dice; each round you roll a set of icon dice and try to form combos that unlock new cards. Those cards grant abilities, extra symbols and contract goals that steer your journey. You manage your hand, pick which contracts to fulfill, and may even push your luck with extra rolls to improve the outcome – the classic "push your luck" feel. At the end you have a unique deck that forms your résumé, and the player who best meets their life objectives wins. While the theme is light‑hearted and humorous, the mechanics demand careful resource and contract management, making the game easy to learn (weight 1.8) yet strategically engaging. Perfect for 2‑4 players, CV mixes humor, life simulation and dice‑driven fun, ideal for casual evenings or groups that love a new story each play.
