No Time to Relax

No Time to Relax is a competitive life-simulation board game for up to four players. You guide a character through everyday adult responsibilities and try to build a more successful life than your rivals, playing locally, online, or against CPU opponents.

Choose how to spend your time: study to improve your prospects, work to earn money, and manage needs such as food, health, sanity, housing, and leisure. Decisions involve balancing immediate expenses and wellbeing against longer-term goals.

You can invest in the stock market, furnish an apartment, get a pet, and complete missions. Players can also hex opponents, while Peaceful Mode removes those sabotage mechanics; different avatars offer cosmetic choices.

Players often enjoy the game most with friends, where balancing everyday responsibilities becomes a funny, competitive source of unexpected setbacks and stories. Reviews also appreciate the choices involved in managing time and developing a character, and some enjoy playing solo or against bots. Some players find the mechanics repetitive or limited after several matches, and a few report online disconnections or difficulty finding other players.
