It's 6.20pm on April 14th, 2006. You are 20 years old and single. Tonight
is your twentieth birthday. You live alone in a small flat in Slough,
a suburb of London, England. Somehow you left school without any
qualifications to speak of, and you have a dead end job that doesn't have
much of a future. What are you going to do with your life? and what will
you have achieved by your thirtieth birthday?

In Kudos what you do with that life is nearly limitless. Become a muscular
physicist on the bowling team, alcoholic motorcycle riding human rights
lawyer, health-obsessed skateboarding cosmetic surgeon, or whatever your
imagination can handle. Kudos lets you live a second life one turn at a time.

ThereÆs neither victory nor defeat in Kudos. You earn kudos as a measure
of your social performance, but the game does not end when your kudos is
high or when your kudos is low. Instead the goals you set are your own to
deal with, and so as you explore the game new ideas and new goals may
become the objective of your new life!
