  I love the concept, but in it's current state I think it's not going to have much longevity/replayability. The game desperately needs more interactivity, and more random events that aren't just "you lose money and/or happiness". The game is almost entirely deterministic, and you could pretty easily "solve" this game and find the most optimal order to do things in order to win. While the Witch's Hut exists to allow you to spend your Happiness on Curses (which can affect the other players), this isn't really enough: the overall lack of interactivity hurts the game in the end: why am I even playing with my friends? This may as well be a solo venture. The different jobs are also not different enough to really matter, just the illusion of choice. You just pick one almost arbitrarily, or pick purely based on location. Different jobs should give you access to different powers: eg. if you become a Bank Manager, you could raise Rent. At this stage, it's unlikely they will update this considering 2019 release, which is a shame, because this had a lot of potential as a Game of Life but better.

  I loved Jones in the Fast Lane, and No Time to Relax is a wonderful modern affectionate remake that makes the entire experience fun, comical and smooth. I've thoroughly enjoyed this game and look forward to any updates that might be coming in the future. The gameplay itself is just the right balance with offering 10,20 or 30 days, as I find 25 days is about what it takes to reach around the top. I like the fact that they slightly shortened university as this was something I found a nuisance in the original. Personally, I feel No Time to Relax is a spectacular remake of Jones with some careful tweaks in just the right spots from obvious fans of the genre. I hope to see more games like this in the future.

  This game is worth every penny - in fact if the price doubled and the game somehow got removed from my library I would buy it again for twice as much. My husband and I are always looking for something new to play together but fewer and fewer developers offer couch multiplayer for their games so that was a huge selling point for us. Playing with one controller is easy as well because time only flows when you actually perform actions so there is no rush; just sit back and enjoy the experience. This is definitely a game I will be showing off and recommending to everyone... Thanks devs for a great game!

  Fun concept, but the gameplay has one big flaw: You don't interact with the other players, you just work on your own meters (health, education, happiness and money) to max out your highscore for the last turn. If you do everything in the most efficient matter, you can max out 3 meters at around turn 25 and put the rest of your time in what's left to fill. Was interesting for 2 go-arounds, but after that i've seen all the game has at the moment. I hope the developers add more meaningful stuff in the future (less of the cards - more INTERACTIVITY please...if it's advertised as Multiplayer-game, let people play AGAINST each other in some way, don't just let them compare their stats they've built for themselves).

  This game had a really interesting trailer which made me jump at buying this. After playing a few games with several of my friends, and then a few solo games just to confirm, I can confidently say this game is really lacking in the depth needed to really keep you coming back. After the first game where everyone was figuring out the game all of our future games felt pretty much identical for all players. We even played one game with an AI bot, and while it played an incredibly boring strategy it did fairly well. And that is the real problem, after you figure out what you need to do in this game you never really make any meaningful choices, just boring ones.

  You get curious for the first hour but then the novelty quickly disappears and you run out of more ideas on ways to play the game. Would love to recommend it but I need more features sorry.

  Rather than a direct rip of Jones in the Fast Lane, this game takes the core concept and improves on it. As development has gone on they've made information more transparent, allowing you to strategically plan your run, giving the game some depth alongside the zany fun. It's not exactly a party game because you're still juggling numbers and plotting out optimizations but for board game parties this'll fit right in. There's not much to do solo except practice and get used to the systems, but that's fine, it's designed for group play. Highly recommended.
