Toys and Games Reviews of Careers by Winning Moves
Customer Review: A Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know why this classic game isn't more popular and more widely available. It's certainly a lot more fun than a lot of the classic games you find on store shelves.
This is a very easy to play game. It's basically a roll and move game where you throw dice to move through the gameboard collecting money, units of fame and happiness. You choose your careers with varying amounts of each and when you collect them all ahead of the others, you win. There is not a lot of strategy in it and there is not a lot of interaction with other players as far as trading or winning things off each other goes. For the compulsive type of player you can always plan and play to win by memorizing the best careers to get the maximum amount of money, fame and happiness, but what's the fun in that?
I recommend this easy to play and lots of fun game for the youngish players (6-7 and up) and players just wanting to have a great time without too much cerebral involvement.
Our playgroup has had a lot of fun in creating expansion packs of extra careers such as Dictator (jail your opponents = 10 happiness), rock star (fall off stage = go to hospital), book author (Oprah reads your book = 10 fame), etc. to slide on the board so that's something that players who want something more can do.
Summary: Classic, easy to play and lots of fun!
