What is in it
44 event cards, all Helsinki: löyly on the Hernesaari shore, Vappu in the fountain, the first snow, kaamos and the expensive lamp, black ice on Kaisaniemenkatu, the gull that takes your salmon soup at the Market Square, a 1993 Muumi mug at the Hietalahti flea market, a ticket inspector on tram 3, a 1928 pipe under your floor, the icebreaker off Suomenlinna.
Nine careers, six open to anyone (tram driver, barista, builder, chef, ferry deckhand, IT support) and three that need the Kumpula degree (architect, doctor, researcher). Three homes: a Kallio studio, a Töölö Jugend flat, an Eira sea-front apartment.
Nineteen narration lines for the turns, the fork, the milestones and the end.
Card shape
{ id, kind = "event", title, sub, text, money?, onni?, tone, voice, requires? }
tone is "good" / "bad" / "wry" and sub is the place it happens, both
for the card art. requires gates a card on a life already lived ("career",
"home", "degree", "married", "children"); an ineligible card goes back
in the pile and another is drawn, so nobody celebrates an anniversary before
the wedding.
voice is the card's own id, and it is also the name of the .soundClip under
game/deck/voice/ holding the Konduktööri reading it.
