Live out your life in miniature — well, a life — in #MyLife, a card game played over ten rounds that takes you from birth to old age. Each player starts with a birth card that puts them at age 0, then players receive a hand of six cards from the "first half of life" deck. Each player chooses a card simultaneously from their hand then put it into play — but only if the card lies in the proper age range (1-10, 11-20, etc.) or the icons on this card are present on cards that you've played earlier (with those icons representing experience that allow you to play the current card because, hey, you've earned it). You then pass the remaining cards in your hand to the player on your left. Once everyone has played five cards, you discard the remaining cards, receive a hand of six cards from the "second half of life" deck, then play another five rounds. If you're the first player to achieve certain combinations of icons, you get to claim a "life goal" card in play, with ties broken by whoever achieves this goal by a younger age. Score points based on the goals listed on your personal cards and how well you achieved them through the icons that you played.
