Well done on this game! I really like how this is a board game where it's not about reaching like a certain goal, but just surviving for the longest, which kinda raises the question many humans ask themselves... "What's the meaning of life? Is it bad if I step on that Alcoholism field and lose 4 years of my life?" or something like that ahahah xD
It's really fun seeing those different outcomes and things which affected your life, I also had two completely different runs. In one I had horrible luck and was born in a poor family with alcoholism, bad climate and no good things at all and died rather young ^_^ While on the other I was able to achieve a lot of good things and live up to 129 years.
I'd suggest giving the player more "control" and "room" to play, because if you're down a certain road you're quite likely to either get a bunch of positive effects at once or many bad ones instantly, which is exactly what happened to me. Also, a two-player mode would be pretty cool, to see who ends up dying first xD
