1. I find the game really hard to play at first, but after playing it several times, I found out the tactics used to keep the family from collapsing. Overall, it was fun and quite engaging.
2. The game was about surviving in poor countries. In which, the player need to assign each characters to different roles. Such as go to work or go to school. The game's duration is 4 years, 4 seasons in each year. I would describe this game to a friend as an 'economic' survival game.
3. I first chose happiness thinking that it would somehow affect the gameplay. However, it does not. In the second and so forth I chose money. Since it is the most important thing that can make you alt 4 years.
4. The hardest decision is assigning roles to the family. We need to consider the right person to get education and who should sacrifice and go to work. Sometimes killing off a character is essential to keep the whole family to last.
5. The strategy is that during the first year, I sent everyone to work to collect money. Once the family is in good shape I started to send the daughter to school. After that, I switched her role to go work and then back again. giving every single child education costs a lot of money.
6. Their main challenges, in my opinion, are healthcare and natural disasters. They are very fragile and can die very easily. Also, typhoons can suddenly left the family devastated and eventually perished.
7. Financial problem is the main obstacle for giving education.
8. The game is far more dramatic and tragic. Since it happens in 4 years, anything could happen.
9. People die very easily, money is the most important thing for survival, and education is very useless for the short-run.
