๐ The story
You don't pick anything. A random generator does โ your Sim's traits, their job, where they live, who they marry. Each round hands you a fresh hand of cards, and your only job is to play whatever luck deals as well as you can.
๐ The goal
Play only with whatever a **random generator hands you each round**, adapting to your luck.

๐ก Strategy tips
- Decide your randomisation method up front (an app, dice, CAS randomise) for consistency.
- Make the best of clashing results โ a shy Sim in a fame career is a story, not a mistake.
- Keep rounds short so a bad hand is just a quick chapter, not a slog.
