In this edition of The Game of Life, we’ll be exploring the unique challenges that come with the quarter life crisis. Buckle up and get ready for a rollercoaster ride filled with tough decisions, unexpected twists, and plenty of opportunities for personal growth.
Now, let’s dive into the rules so we can get started on this exhilarating journey.
Objective
The objective of the game is simple: navigate the challenges of quarter life and come out the other side with the most fulfilling and successful life possible. You’ll be faced with various choices and opportunities, each of which will shape your path and determine your ultimate success in the game.
Game Setup
To begin the game, each player will choose a game piece and place it on the starting space. Next, shuffle the deck of career cards and place them facedown near the board. Each player will also start with a set amount of money, which will be used throughout the game.
Gameplay
On your turn, spin the spinner to determine how many spaces you will move. Then, follow the instructions on the space where you land. This could involve making choices about your career, relationships, finances, and personal development.
Throughout the game, you’ll encounter various Life Cards that present opportunities, challenges, and unexpected events. When you draw a Life Card, read it aloud and follow the instructions. Some cards may require you to make a decision, while others will simply provide you with new opportunities or setbacks.
Make sure to pay attention to your finances, as managing your money will play a crucial role in your success. You’ll need to make smart decisions about how to spend and save your money to ensure a comfortable and prosperous future.
Winning the Game
The game continues until all players have reached the end of the board. At this point, each player will tally up their score and determine their level of success. Points are earned based on various factors, such as career success, financial stability, personal happiness, and relationships.
The player with the highest score is declared the winner and the ultimate master of navigating the quarter life crisis.

Getting Started
- Put the spinner base into the gameboard.

Hey there! Let me tell you how to play the game of Life: Quarter Life Crisis. It’s a cool game where you make choices and face challenges, just like in real life.
First, sort the cards into four decks. Make sure the Action deck goes in its spot on the board. You’ll also need to give each player an “On Your Turn” card to refer to during the game. Keep the other decks close by.
Now, are you ready to embark on this exciting journey? Great! Let’s dive in and see what this game has in store for us.
Listen up! It’s time to find a job – just like your parents always say. You and me, we’re gonna draw two Job cards each. Keep the one that pays the most, and put the other one back in the deck. Show off your Job card for all to see!
Time to Play!
Alright, it’s time to get this game rolling! The player who last shed a tear (I know, sounds silly) goes first. That’s right, it’s your moment to shine. Here’s what you do:
- Spin the spinner and move forward the number of spaces indicated. On your first turn, you get to decide which direction you want to move in. When you reach an intersection, it’s up to you to choose which path to take. Remember, you can go back to spaces you’ve already visited, as long as you keep moving in the same direction. No switching directions allowed!
If you land on a STOP space, you must stop immediately. Check out the STOP SPACES section below to find out what you need to do.
Hey there! Did you happen to pass or land on any of these spaces?
Oh, look! It’s Payday! If you pass or land on any of these spaces, you get to collect your salary from the bank. And don’t forget, if you have a spouse, you may even get an increased salary! Nice, right?
Ah, Rent! Now, if you pass or land on any of these spaces, you’ve got to pay the rent amount on your House card. It’s a part of life, after all!
Alright, now we come to the Risky Road spaces. If you land on any of these, things get a bit unpredictable. Sometimes you collect money, and other times you have to pay up. Just follow the amount shown and brace yourself!
Now, be careful!
If you accidentally land on a space that another player is already on, it’s like a car crash! Both of you gotta pay 10K to the bank. It’s a lesson in the importance of having auto insurance! Ouch!
Don’t have enough money to finish something?
Discover LOANS and delve into the daunting world of debt!
Stop Spaces
If you land on one of these spaces, stop right away, even if you still have moves left. Once you’ve completed the action, spin the wheel again. Remember, you can only pick up an Action card at the end of your turn, right after you spin the wheel.
Partner
If you’re flying solo, it’s time to find someone to share the ride with! Attach a peg to your car to signify that you’re looking for a partner. But if you’re already hitched, it’s time to break free! Remove your spouse peg and embark on a new adventure!
Now, give the spinner a whirl and let fate decide your next move. Oh wait, before you do that, let me tell you about this interesting card you can play if you have it. This magical card can shield you from the dreaded “D word.” Yes, I’m talking about divorce! It’s like a shield of protection for your relationship. Just play it when you land on this special space, and voila! No divorce for you!
Now, let’s talk about landing on the “New Job” space. This is a biggie. It could change your life! It’s like winning the lottery, but with a different kind of prize. Maybe you’ll discover a hidden talent or find a job that fulfills your wildest dreams. The possibilities are endless!
The game of life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs. You never know what’s waiting for you around the corner. So, go ahead, take the leap, and see where the road takes you. Just remember, it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. Enjoy the ride!
Guess what? It’s time for a game! I get to draw two new Job cards for myself, and I’ll keep the one I like best. The other card and my old Job get sent back to the bottom of the deck. Ready? Let’s spin again!
A Brand-New Home
Hey there! It’s time to get a move on! Grab two fresh House cards and pick the one you like the most.
Send the other card and your old House back to the bottom of the deck. Ready? Time to spin the wheel again!
Oh, Baby!
Hey there! Welcome to this exciting game! The moment you land on this special spot, give the spinner a whirl and find out how many adorable babies you’ll have and how much baby shower cash you’ll receive!
| 1-2 | 1 baby and 20K |
| 3-4 | Twins and 40K |
| 5-6 | Triplets and 60K |
Secure those pegs onto your car and give that spinner another whirl!
If you land on this spot once more, hold off on spinning for more kids. Instead, you’ll need to shell out some cash for childcare — 20K for each child riding in your car. Now, give the spinner another spin!
Action Cards
Whenever you draw an Action card, follow its instructions and then put it back at the bottom of the deck (unless it states otherwise). Some Action cards might require you to spin the spinner. Just remember, spins from these cards don’t count towards your Side Gigs.
Hey there! Have you ever seen these cards with this funky-looking symbol? They’re pretty sneaky because they give you the power to mess with someone else’s game. Let me break it down for you:
When you come across a card with this symbol, you have the option to play dirty and sabotage another player. If you’re feeling brave and decide to accept the challenge on the card, you can pass it along to any other player. And guess what? They have no choice but to do whatever action is written on the card. It could be something like paying up or even getting a divorce (yikes!)
But wait, there’s more! If you chicken out and decide not to take on the dare (I won’t judge, we all have our limits), then the card will only affect you. That’s right, no one else will have to suffer the consequences – it’s all on you.
So remember, these cards can be a real game-changer. They give you the power to mess with someone else’s fate or just keep the chaos limited to yourself. Either way, it’s all part of the fun!
If you see this symbol on a card, be aware that there’s a penalty that sticks around even after it’s your turn. Keep the card as a reminder.
Once you’ve finished the task on the card, put it back at the bottom of the deck.
Borrowing Money
If you don’t have enough money to finish a task, you can borrow money from the bank.
- I start by taking some cash from the bank. If I need to borrow more, I can also get a bank loan certificate for every 10K I borrow.
- If I want to, I can pay off the loan at any time by giving the bank back each certificate along with 10K in cash.
- But there’s a catch – I have to pay off any loans I have before I can win the game.
How the Game Ends
The game ends when one player reaches a total of 500K at the end of their turn. If that’s me, then I’ve won! Finally, I’m free from all that debt. Well, in this game, at least.
