About the game
It has been said that: "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get." The gamer might say: "Life is like a deck of cards, you never know what you're going to draw." However, just like you make choices in your life, your choices will guide you in building your own deck. My Story is a deck-building card game for 2-4 players that invites you to experience a colorful and fulfilling life in less than 60 minutes. In this game, players get to build the deck of their life by gaining new Life Stories, completing Projects, and potentially switching to a new Occupation. The game ends when all players reach the age of retirement, and the player who lives the most gratifying life and scores the highest victory points wins!

Questions and answers
My Story supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for My Story is 45–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists My Story for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
My Story has a complexity rating of 2.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
