About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to relive life's journey, but with a twist of cards and strategy! In 'Game of Life: Cards', you won't be spinning a wheel or moving around a traditional board. Here, the focus is on building your personal story using four types of cards: Job and Career, giving you a boost in the job market; Family and Everyday Life, for those intimate moments; Activities and Leisure, for enjoying free time; and Sustainable Actions, thinking about the future. The goal is to assemble complete sets from at least three of these categories. Whoever achieves this feat first wins the game! It's a cool reimagining of the classic, by Estrela, which deviates significantly from the original rules to offer an experience more focused on hand management and set collection. There are 110 cards ready to tell you a new version of life. A quick game, with matches lasting around 30 minutes, perfect for those who enjoy card games with a light theme and a dash of luck and planning. Ideal for playing with family or friends, especially if you like games with a more casual and thematic feel.
