Walks of Life
by SunkCapital
This is a twist on the classic Game of Life board game. As you move through the board you have to make strategic decisions that impact various aspects of your life—education, career, wealth, and family. Each choice you make influences your overall success and happiness. Ignoring aspects of your life such as health can cause problems down the line or even get you killed. The game combines strategy, luck, and life simulation elements.

Walks of Life is such a cool take on life games – love how your choices and a bit of dice luck shape your journey. The achievements list adds a really personal touch, making you root for your character. It's a great mix of strategy and the fun of growing a virtual life. And any game where you can pet a dog is awesome in my eyes!

It is a great concept with a stylish design, but I think the UX of the main gameplay loop could be improved. It wasn't clear to me how to play. It seems like cards are clickable due to the zoom on hover, but they are not. The dice action buttons should be more in the forefront and not hidden in the middle of an already busy board. I don't understand why the pawn stops before the requested position, and I have to hover cards to activate them. Maybe my confusion is due to never having played the Game of Life board game :)

Presentation is confusing, I don't quite understand the rules of movement and it took me a while to figure out that there even was a "player" moving around "a board" rather than "pick N cards". Seems like it's a dice roll capped at the number you pick, for movement? I love the concept but it doesn't quite work yet, and it's not immediately recognizable as a Game of Life board game variant.
