The big career as a super star is the aim of this variant of "The Game of Life". For a playing piece you have a limousine that has room for 10 marker pins; on golden pin is already in place at the start, and you also have 200 K for money. At the start of the game you draw three job cards, check them and choose one job. With the same procedure you choose one card for your entourage and place one silver pin into the car. Aim of this variant is to collect five star cards and, while owning those cards, to reach a "Happy End" area on the board.

As usual, you decide on one career path and play according to the familiar standard rules - you roll, that is, spin the Wheel of Life, advance your limousine accordingly and implement the action of the area you reach. On action areas you draw an action card and implement it. You collect stars and cards for your entourage from a cook to your agent, marked by pins in your limousine. You can buy such a card at the start of each turn, for 200 K. A VIP area, a shortcut for your path, can only be entered with the corresponding entourage, which you must acquire before. The Wheel of Life can earn you a super-spin or additional bonuses according to your entourage which are useful for your advancement.
