yay, a Year game! - The Driessen Family - FINISHED!
in reply to a message by Violet_Kent86
Note: Each round I first flipped a coin to decide whether to roll for a Birth/Adoption Event and Other Event. If the roll for a Birth/Adoption event was a no, I always rolled for an Other Event no matter what my first roll was. When kids turned 18 I rolled for careers then flipped a coin to see if they’d get a partner. I then followed the Birth/Adoption and Other Event process for their family too like with the main couple family.
