About the game
They say no man is an island. We live within communities where we get to interact with other people, engage in various activities, have new experiences and be part of something bigger. The people around us shape who we are and in turn, we shape their lives through our behavior. The actions we take, allow us to become more popular, or slide us into obscurity. How will the community around us affect our constant pursuit for happiness? The Pursuit of Happiness: Community expansion introduces the concept of the local community. Community cards, a new type of cards, allow you to engage in various community events and choose their outcome, with a new board included on which to place the new cards and keep track of your Popularity score. More Projects, Items, Activities, Jobs, Partners, Life Goals and Child Traits are also included to enhance your game experience, as well as enough material for a 5th player to join your games.

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 The Pursuit of Happiness: Community is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists The Pursuit of Happiness: Community for ages 12 and up.

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.
The Pursuit of Happiness: Community has a complexity rating of 2.6 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
