Description

Accumulate trauma and debt as you try to make it to old age in this dark parody board game. Start with an emotional flaw and an arbitrary amount of debt. Decide whether or not you believe in free will. Players take turns rolling dice to move their way through the board. Spaces you land on require you to: pay rent, get into a traumatic situation, find a partner, have them break up with you, trigger a world event that hurts everyone in the game, so on and so forth. Use jobs to help your fellow teammates along their way. Take therapy at an absurd price to keep your growing trauma in check or your character commits suicide. But don't land on the black space, or else. The game ends when all players are dead. If you make it to the end of the board and old age, congratulations! You win or something. You're still dead though. —description from the designer
