What to Expect
You start the game as a child with limited interests and parent-assisted progression. Over the years you gain independence, new interests and access to more experiences across city locations. You form memories, friendships and personality traits while pursuing life goals, using dice management to visit places and acquire experiences that alter your personal board.
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at hobby gamers who enjoy narrative, theme-heavy games; suitable from age 14 and with a playtime of about 80 minutes (extended). The 1–4 player range includes solo play for single-player sessions.
How It Works
Dice Rolling is the core mechanic: you manage dice to perform actions and visit locations in the city. Your personal board records personality aspects and gained experiences that change over time. As years pass in the game, new interests unlock further options, making mid- to long-term planning relevant. Early play is influenced by parental help and limited initial abilities.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Dani Garcia, Coming of Age emphasizes personal life development rather than pure scoring. It is listed under the family 'Theme: My Best Life' and centers on Dice Rolling. The game links childhood, adolescence and adulthood into a single progression, as described by the publisher.
