If Your Career Could Be Likened To A Board Game

[Tannedbaldhead]

For me as a 60 year old build professional working in the construction industry it can best be described as a game of snakes and ladders.
Various booms, busts, changes in government policies and funding programmes, acquisitions, mergers and the odd bits of good and bad luck have seen my career go from nought to sixty faster the a Porsche Turbo only to crash back to nought again. This was followed by a period of time spluttering along misfiring and belching smoke before a slow and steady 30-50mph acceleration run in sixth gear and a bit of 70mph cruising (excuse the motoring analogies but this IS PistonHeads).
Presently on an "in the right place at the right time" ladder moment and working like a dog to stash the readies to compensate for life's snake moments before I retire.

Trivial Pursuit. Some questions you know, others you don't and lot of the answers soon become out of date. Starts off as fun but drags on too long without a satisfactory ending.

[Soloman Dodd]

A cross between Cluedo and Tiddlywinks.

Risk.
Possibly MouseTrap. Ages building something absurdly complex, and then seconds watching it fail in a way we hadn’t considered.

That is excellent

Backgammon.

Some skill, some luck. Being too aggressive or competitive can be disadvantageous.

Monopoly.

Overly long, often dull and no real money at the end of it.

Kerplunk.

A high-stakes corporate agility test where I'm losing my marbles.

Not strictly a board game, but Poker - trying to keep a poker face and trying not to show my real emotions when dealing with mostly idiots above and below me.

Snakes but no ladders….

Can't think of a game that's impossible to win but easy to lose?
