About the game
Future Me Problems taps into all the responsibilities we would rather put off but in a way only lazy lumps like us can truly appreciate. It's a card game that not only celebrates procrastination — it rewards you for it! In Future Me Problems, the goal of the game is to earn as many points as you can by collecting valuable distraction cards from the activity deck and avoiding penalty-giving responsibility cards. Players accomplish this by planning out their turns using schedule cards. Schedule cards let you do things like draw cards from the activity deck, flip the activity deck over, and even force other players to draw cards from the activity deck. At the start of the game, the dreaded Large, Important Task card is placed in the center of the activity deck. Whoever is forced to draw that card will receive a big penalty and end the game! When that happens, everyone adds up their points and the player with the most points from collected activity cards wins the game. Future Me Problems is based on the popular web comic Sarah’s Scribbles, by Sarah Andersen.
