What to Expect
In CV, you guide a character through life’s stages, making decisions about jobs, relationships, and skills. The gameplay combines Yahtzee-style dice rolling with cards that provide benefits and new symbols each round. Collecting sets of cards scores points at the end. The mix of push your luck, set collection, and open drafting creates varied and strategic rounds.
Who Is This Game For?
CV suits 2 to 4 players aged 10 and up who enjoy medium complexity games that mix dice and cards. With about 60 minutes playtime, it appeals to gamers looking for a medium-length, tactical experience. Prior experience with hand management is helpful but not required.
How It Works
The core gameplay revolves around dice rolling and hand management: you roll dice to get symbols needed to acquire cards. You can reroll dice to push your luck and improve your results. Cards grant advantages, new symbols, and special abilities. Open drafting lets you pick cards that best fit your strategy. At game end, points come from your collected card sets.
