I would like to introduce a fresh archetype for Life in the Fast Lane: The Minimalist. Perfect for players who enjoy efficiency, resourcefulness, and finding joy in simplicity, The Minimalist shakes up gameplay with unique perks and challenges.

Archetype: The Minimalist “Less is more, and I’m making it work.”

Stats

Brains: 2 Brawns: 1 Charm: 2

Starting Resources

Time Tokens: 7 Happiness: 6 Starting Money: $50

Perk: The Minimalist gains +1 Happiness whenever they successfully go a week without making a major purchase (items or assets over $75). Their frugality and focus on intangible rewards keep their well-being high.

Flaw: To maintain their minimalist philosophy, they must discard an asset every two weeks. Over-accumulation hinders their sense of balance, and this self-imposed limit ensures they stay true to their ideals.

Gameplay Tips

Strategize Actions: Focus on low-cost activities like Relaxing, Volunteering, or Socializing to maintain Happiness and balance. Resource Management: Carefully choose what to discard. Keeping only essential assets can streamline your success. Play to Strengths: Maximize Happiness gains by avoiding high expenses and sticking to their efficient lifestyle.
