How it plays
- The century is the setting Careers, diseases, prices and wars all depend on the year you're born. You can work a factory line or write software. Same ambition, different paperwork.
- One tap, one year Press Age Up and a year happens. School, work, love, debt. Then a card asks what you want to do about it.
- History doesn't ask Wars, plagues and market crashes roll through your life whether you planned for them or not. Usually not.
- You get an obituary Every life ends with one. Then you start another.
