About this game

California Dreamin' is a humorous, satirical board game where players navigate the triumphs, challenges, and absurdities of life in the Golden State while racing to build a better future beyond its borders. Travel through eight uniquely themed California regions, overcome disasters and unexpected setbacks, collect postcards, earn money, and outsmart your opponents as every decision brings new opportunities—and new chaos. Featuring colorful artwork, memorable characters, strategic choices, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, California Dreamin' blends adventure, humor, and light strategy into an experience that's different every time you play. Success requires managing resources, adapting to unexpected events, and completing your journey with enough money to purchase your New Start destination before your opponents do. Designed for families and friends, California Dreamin' celebrates the unpredictability of life, proving that the best memories are often made when everything goes hilariously off course. —description from the designer
