Description

Success is a 4-player board game for the 8-bit Atari.

At the start of each game, each player chooses a personality from: aggressive, impulsive, pragmatic, or romantic. They also choose their primary goals in life, including: money, knowledge and intellectual curiosity, and health and happiness. The personality traits determine how often a player gets positive or negative outcomes to their roles, as well as the associated modifiers to success or failure. One game play begins, each turn a player can choose to roll a dice, move the player, flip a card, or end the turn. The computer does not track whether a specific move is valid or invalid. The player moves around the board the appropriate number of squares each turn, and flips the card their playing piece lands upon.

Flipped cards include: chance, gamble, knowledge, money, health and happiness, intellectual curiosity, and romance. These options include trivia questions, short arcade sequence, or other activities which will increase or decrease a players' 3 goals.

The game ends after a randomized number of turns, and the player who scores the highest towards his desired life goals is the winner.
