✉ New Message · Goal

Goal

You and the other players work in the same department. Projects keep falling from above. Your job is not to finish them; it is to make them land on someone else's desk.

Reach the PIP limit and you get a PIP. Get a second PIP and you are laid off: #FUNEMPLOYED.

When the Project deck runs out, the employed player with the fewest PIPs is promoted; ties go to the lowest workload.

✉ New Message · Your Turn

Your Turn

Draw 1 → reveal 1 → play any
  1. Draw: discard the WFH / OOO / PTO you played last turn, then draw 1.
  2. Reveal: flip the top Project deck card (see “What did you reveal?”).
  3. Play: any number of cards without ⚡, then pass left.

When the Office deck runs out, shuffle its discards.

✉ New Message · What did you reveal?

What did you reveal?

  • Red Urgent: everyone shouts "3, 2, 1" and points (yourself is fine). Most fingers takes it; ties go to the revealer.
  • 3-workload with On-Call in play: it goes to the On-Call player.
  • Grey Announcement: read it, do it, discard it. If it needs "the next Project" and you hit another Announcement, put that one on the bottom and reveal again.
  • Any other Project: you take it.

The receiver may dodge first. Once it lands, workload ≥ limit means a PIP.

✉ FW: FW: RE: · ⚡ Dodging

⚡ Dodging

When a Project would land on you, you may play 1 ⚡ card (text starts with DODGE:) and send it where the card says. The new receiver may dodge too, on anyone's turn.

WFH dodges 1-workload Projects for you. Players on OOO never receive Projects; they skip to the left.

One dodge each: a player may dodge a given Project only once. If it comes back, take it.
✉ New Message · Example & Targets

Example & Targets

Mia, Kai, Sam sit clockwise. Mia reveals a 3-workload Urgent; everyone points at Kai. Kai plays As Per Last Email: back to his right, Mia. Mia plays Reply All to Sam. Sam sends it back to Mia. Mia already dodged, so she takes it.

Choosing a player: only employed players not on OOO (Moving You to BCC may choose OOO).
✉ High Importance · PIPs & Layoffs

PIPs & Layoffs

Project card turned sideways left with the red PIP tab on topLeft: PIP
Project card turned sideways right with the green FUNEMPLOYED tab on topRight: laid off

Second PIP = laid off: turn your PIP cards sideways right, green #FUNEMPLOYED on top. Discard hand and Statuses; pass On-Call left.

✉ New Message · Ex-employees & End

Ex-employees & End

#FUNEMPLOYED players never receive Projects, play cards or win, but count as 2 votes in every 3-2-1 vote and cannot be pointed at.

Instant win: the last employed player wins.

Quarterly Audit: when the last Project deck card is revealed, finish the turn. Fewest PIPs → lowest workload → most cards; still tied, shared promotion.

✉ RE: Quick question · FAQ

FAQ

Can I Looping In a Project right after it lands? No, wait for your Play step; dodge with ⚡ before it lands.

Can I Reply All someone else's Project? No, ⚡ only dodges Projects landing on you.

Last card is an Announcement needing a Project? Do what you can, then hold the Audit.

Do PIPs shorten the game? Yes, PIP cards never return to the deck.
