in 2002. The object of the game is to collect as many points as possible before the letters for L.I.F.E. are drawn. The game begins with each player first deciding whether to pick a career right away or go to college and get a career afterwards. Each turn, players draw to fill their hands and then complete goals by playing cards from their hand. Goals are completed by paying their cost in money or time.

Goals have an associated point value to them and the player or team that collects the most points at the end of the game wins.
