Mental Health Plan for a Generation
Baby Boomer isn’t just a game – it’s a mental health plan for anyone born after 1965.
Play a Baby Boomer competing with other Boomers for happiness – who will accumulate the most wealth and grandchildren? Your children need help finding a partner, so you’ll have to invest in their careers, personality, and looks. They’ll also need a house but the market is going through the roof! And have you budgeted for your own retirement? Forget the hype – it’s not easy being a Baby Boomer.

Playtesting Baby Boomer:
Helicopter Parent
Nothing says you are a success like having brilliant children. But will too much music practice, maths homework, and volunteering make them crumble under the pressure? This is the dilemma at the heart of Helicopter Parent. You could solve it through compassionate parenting and produce failures, or you could turn them into winners by making your passions their passions!

Robber Banker
It’s private wealth versus public prosperity in this clash between The People and The Banks. Play for The People and try to protect your society’s wealth. Or be a banker and try to rob your society as often as you can by cleverly engineering a financial collapse. There is no honour among thieves, but white-collar crime does pay – especially during a crisis!
