About the game
Hey folks! Ever thought about how life is kind of like a card game? You never know what you're gonna draw, but your choices shape the deck you build. That's exactly the vibe of "My Story," a deck-building game that throws you into a 2-4 player adventure to live a colorful and fulfilling life in under an hour.

In "My Story," you're not just a player; you're the architect of your own existence! Each round, you'll assemble the deck of your life, acquiring new "Life Stories," completing "Projects" that boost your standing, and maybe even switching "Occupations" to give your career a kick. The goal is straightforward: enjoy the ride and rack up victory points. When retirement comes knocking for everyone, the player who has lived the richest life and scored the highest takes the glory.

It's a game that makes you think about your decisions, but without being too heavy. Perfect for those who enjoy seeing their deck evolve and want a cool thematic experience without needing a whole day to play. Get ready to build your narrative, make important choices, and maybe even discover what your "best life" would look like at the game table. Let's build this story together!
