Each inner career path offers varying amounts of Money, Fame, or Happiness and I had a choice of where I wanted to go. I traveled the Big Business route a lot.Another thing I loved about Careers is that it had an outer track and many inner tracks (or Careers – like Big Business, Politics, Hollywood, or Expedition to the Moon) where I could venture off in search of my desired mix of points. Want to split it evenly at 20 points in each category, go for it. But at the outset of the game, each player secretly writes down how they want to allocate those points between Money, Fame, and Happiness. In Careers, players need to gain 60 points to win. Even though at the heart of the game it is simply a roll-and-move game, I felt like I was in control.
I felt like I was the master of my own fate. What fascinated me most about Careers is that I could set my own victory conditions. Set your own victory conditions!And I don’t know if it’s just the nostalgia, but I still think Careers is a great game. It opened my mind to new possibilities in board games that pulled me right in. I thought it was such an awesome board game.
I remember playing Careers over and over and over. The Careers board with one outer and many inner paths.Įpisodes #349 and #350 that are out this week include segments from contributors where we were asked “What game from your childhood do you remember the most?” In preparing my response/segment for a recent Dice Tower episode, I got so excited thinking about the game, that I wanted to share it here as well. Many visitors to our site know that each year I’m a part of The Dice Tower Awards and occasionally contribute to The Dice Tower podcast. Today we go back in time to review a game that I, dad, absolutely love from my childhood – Careers!
