Life is Rolling Stones

About

Life is Rolling Stones is a life simulation game that takes place over each player's "Junior", "Adult", and "Senior" stage. Each player has a starting character card, and will, after rolling, place a die in each of 4 colors on it: red (passion), blue (logic), yellow (lust), and green (harmony). Each player also receives a hand of cards which represent their aspirations, and these cards will grant the player special in-game abilities and end-game scoring opportunities. The game takes place over 3 rounds, each with 3 turns. Players draft turn order, with those going later receiving certain bonuses, and then draft life events from a public pool. In addition to the chosen card, each player will have one life event "happen" to them from a blind draw. Each round will also feature an event that will affect each of the players. Much of the game centers around "tipping" the dice. For instance, if a card is to be placed into a player's tableau, you must try to place it next to the card that currently has the corresponding die on it; the die is then "tipped" onto the card, changing its value accordingly. In the game's theme, the higher the value of a die, the more fulfilled a player is in that aspect of their life. After 9 rounds, the player with the most points wins.
