I've been up to 5 years old. I didn't see the option to start the game again. It was a nice implementation for the theme. Quite successful.

I succeed until year 13.
I found the game a little bit repetitive, but funny. I only find 1 star, I don't get how to find them!

Really interesting spin on card games... at first I was confused about how to succeed, but realized all I need to do is save "discard" cards for last in my hand. It was very easy to win by just using all my discard cards last each hand. It's an awesome concept, but needs some tweaks to be a little less easily abused.

@hermbit Thanks for playing!

Yup, I didn't really have time to balance things, but there's a little fun to be had in what works. :)

I succeeded in playing until I was seven years old, and the picture of the game was very comfortable to watch

Year 20 and collect 6 stars, this game is cool but cards but the cards lack a little visual :)
