Careers (1971) – Fame, Fortune, and Happiness on Your Terms

Careers is a classic strategy board game where success is what you decide it is. Whether you're chasing fame, money, or happiness, the first to reach their personal goal wins. Perfect for players who like a mix of luck, planning, and ambition.

How to Play:
Before the game begins, each player secretly writes down their personal success formula using a mix of Fame, Happiness, and Money, totalling 60 points. Players then roll the dice and travel around the board’s occupation paths—like College, Big Business, or Ecology—collecting stars, hearts, and pounds along the way. To enter a new occupation, you must meet specific requirements, or use an Experience or Opportunity card. The first player to reach or exceed their success formula wins.

Why Rent This Game:
Careers is a brilliant game for families or groups who love a mix of personal strategy and classic gameplay. It’s a fun way to explore different paths to success and spark conversations about goals and values. Plus, it’s vintage Parker Brothers at its best—easy to learn and endlessly repayable.
