Careers Board Game - 1960s

A brilliant copy of Careers made by John Waddington, UK from the late 1960s. 

Careers is a game where the players set their own victory conditions. A player may choose to pursue Fame, Happiness, Money, or a combination of all three. The limitation being that the total number of "points" earned in the 3 categories must total 60. eg. 60 Happiness, 0 Fame, 0 Money; 20 of each; or any other combination. The players endeavour to fulfill their goal by going through any number of different "occupation paths". All paths have some prerequisite for entry, and benefits accrue from going through any of the paths more than once.

The different occupations are designed to be suited to different strategies, eg. Hollywood is good for fame points, while "Going to Sea" is good for happiness. In the end it is the player (or team of players) who gets to their pre-set goal first who will be the winner, and achieve everything they ever wanted in life.

2 - 6 Players 

Complete in all respects though the two rule books have been graffitied (which kind of adds an ounce of charm). Two corners of the box mended with cello tape but intact and the board shows no marks and very little wear. Grade 3 under the Hoyles Vintage Grading System (see here).
