Overview

In Karnaxis, you're a high school graduate trying to find your own path to success in the modern economy. You'll choose a character with different talents and a unique Karnaxis, or life ambition. Using 2 actions for each of the 12 game years, you'll take turns competing for various jobs, businesses, and a college education while trying to fulfill your life ambition. Each year, random events mix things up; like the stock market crashing. At the end, the player with the most cash wins. One character's life ambition may be to dominate the business world, while another's may be to become a doctor. As you fulfill your ambition, you receive bonus cash. Along with college, jobs, and businesses you can also start franchises, play the stock market, invest in retirement, get pay raises, win the lottery, take out loans, or even collect unemployment. It's up to you where to take your life and what financial fate that path holds.
