About the game
The Gratitude pack is Artipias way of saying our thanks to everyone showing their support by backing The Pursuit of Happiness while it was still on Kickstarter. It was given as a gift to the backers who patiently waited for the release of the game and then later released for purchase on their website. This mini expansion contains cards that add to the already existing Item/Activities, Projects, Community, Jobs and Experiences packs.

Questions and answers
The Pursuit of Happiness: Gratitude Pack supports 1–5 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 catalogue lists The Pursuit of Happiness: Gratitude Pack for ages 12 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.
The Pursuit of Happiness: Gratitude Pack has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight 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.
