About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever thought about giving your life a little makeover? With CV Pocket, you can craft an incredible life story in under half an hour! The concept is straightforward: build an enviable resume by selecting your dream job, defining hobbies, and even the friends who will accompany you on this journey. But beware, the path isn't always smooth! You'll have to face some tough decisions and, of course, try to outsmart the folks around you.

The game utilizes a cool card selection mechanism. Cards are laid out in three rows, and on your turn, you choose which card to take. The twist is that the top card of your current resume pile determines how you "travel" to grab a new card: a bike lets you move one space, a car two, and a plane three. This means you need to plan not only which card you want but also how you'll reach it, all while keeping an eye on what others are planning to block you.

The goal is to accumulate the most points by collecting sets of wisdom, relationships, money, and even a bit of luck (good or bad!). Missions offer a scoring boost, and there are special cards that create awesome combos. Imagine doubling your next card's value with a "vacation" or snatching any card from the table with a "relocation." Whoever builds the most impressive and strategic resume wins. It's a fast-paced game with interesting decisions and a touch of humor that makes us laugh at our own life choices. Perfect for those who enjoy a light game with enough depth for good laughs and strategies.

CV Pocket is a great choice for anyone seeking a different experience, where each decision shapes not only your in-game future but also your final score. It's a game that invites you to think outside the box and have fun with the twists and turns that life (and the game!) can present. With easy-to-learn rules and dynamic matches, it fits perfectly into any game night, whether with friends or family.
