From time to time, we all find solace in cherished memories from our past—warm, cozy places where we felt secure, blissful moments when everything seemed possible, and significant others who made us feel loved and important. These nostalgic reflections evoke a bittersweet, fuzzy emotion that offers a fresh perspective on our endless quest for happiness.

The Nostalgia expansion for The Pursuit of Happiness introduces the concept of reminiscences—fond memories of childhood, unfulfilled desires, and past dreams and aspirations that players long to rekindle. The Nostalgia deck includes double-sided cards that, once their requirements are met, unlock unique card types and gameplay options. Dealt at the start of the game, these cards influence players' decisions and encourage long-term planning. Is it ever too late to chase your deepest dreams and desires? The expansion also enhances existing card types—Projects, Items, Activities, Jobs, Partners, Life Goals, and Child Traits—to ensure a truly nostalgic experience!
