A hilariously ruthless and relatable card game for anyone who's ever dreamed of quitting their 9-to-5. As a hit Kickstarter game, Escape The Rat Race combines easy-to-learn rules with high player interaction and take-that style strategy, making it the perfect fun card game for 2 people, families, and your next game night.

Your destiny is in your hands! In Escape The Rat Race, you'll choose your path: collect a steady salary from a traditional professional career - very sensible. Or, take a risk as an entrepreneur, facing a fluctuating income with the hope of a massive payout.

Use your earnings to accumulate life experiences from your 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. The core of the game is a fast and furious race to be the first to complete your collection.

But the real fun comes from the ruthless Action cards. Deploy them to sabotage your opponents, throw their life plans into chaos, and advance your own goals. It's a game that mixes just the right amount of strategy and luck, ensuring no two games are ever the same. The first player to collect three experiences from each decade successfully retires, Escapes The Rat Race and wins the game.
