Life Events:
As you move along the board, you’ll encounter various life events such as getting a job, having children, buying a house, and more.
Some spaces require you to make choices that can affect your financial status.
Retirement:
The game ends when all players reach the retirement space. Players then sell their houses, pay off any loans, and count their money.
