This semi-satirical game casts each player in the role of a citizen of East Germany from birth to eventual death. Players move along a serpentine series of paths representing childhood, schooling, and career choices while collecting points for health, intelligence, money, and career. On certain spaces, accumulated points can be traded in for a spouse, career advancement, or various consumer goods. Once all players have reached their final destination the player with the most victory points from his or her various acquisitions wins the game.
