HR The Toxic Workplace Game

You and up to 3 frenemies are Managers on the climb up the brutal corporate ladder. Manage your team of familiar employees and win by completing projects OR by getting everyone else FIRED by HR instead!

The game starts with all Employee Cards being dealt to each Manager. Each Manager is then dealt 5 cards which be their hand. During a turn, a Manager can choose to play a Misconduct Card OR a Project Management Card OR an Action Card from their hand. At the end of a turn, Managers redraw to make sure they have 5 cards in their hand.

There are two ways of Winning HR.

The first is to eliminate all other Manager’s Employees by serving them Warning Letters for Misconducts. When an Employee receives 3 Warning Letters, the Employee is Fired and placed in the Retrenched Pile. Some Misconduct Cards would deal 2 Warning Letters to specific types of Employees instead of 1.

The second way of winning the game is when a Manager successfully completes an entire Project Cycle by putting down all 4 stages of Project Management Cards.
