📖 About This Game
In Colleagues, the worst employees get fired… but the best just get more work.
Your true goal? To be gloriously mediocre.
Every day, you’ll play Effort cards to survive the office jungle without standing out.
The highest card earns extra work. The lowest gets a reprimand.
Stay perfectly in the middle, and you might just make it through the week unnoticed.
Use Coffee tokens to bluff, fake sick days, or hide in a meeting. Plan your week, manage your hand, and keep an eye on your rivals — they’re trying to dump their work on you.
Across three exhausting workweeks, you’ll endure meetings, emails, and absurd demands from your boss.
When the dust settles, the player with the fewest points — and the cleanest record — wins.
Fast-paced, ironic, and dangerously relatable, Colleagues turns everyday office life into a tactical game of survival through mediocrity.
