So while this is intended to be played by more than one human, you can watch the demo and figure out things.
But here’s a couple starting pointers:

You have to eat every week, burgers it is starting out, since food spoils without a fridge/freezer.

You also need a job, which is something else that should be done first turn.

The cheap-o z-mart has stuff for cheaper, but it may wear out (like clothes) or require maintenance more often.

Make sure when upgrading a job (mid- and late-game) that you have the appropriate clothing, higher jobs require business wear.

Feel free to add more in the thread!

Here’s a resource we found today, with all kind of requirements for jobs, etc.

These are some solid starter tips!

After playing online a bit with various people, I’ve noticed there’s some confusion about what degrees are required for what careers. The game nor the manual explains much about this, but I did just find this wiki which seems to have a lot of info: https://jonesinthefastlane.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Degrees

I just played this game to death as a kid and gradually got a feel for how it all interconnects, but it’s nice to see it mapped out like this and it might be a good resource for new players who don’t feel like putting in 100 hours of research first.

Go with the Fries for the food. It’s always cheaper! 😉
