Clumsy Room Maids is a board game released in 2025 for 2–4 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by しぶ (Shibu) and its main mechanics are Trick-taking.
You're a maid trying to balance hard work with sneaky shortcuts. You'll take on tasks like bed-making, room service, and laundry, aiming to impress a finicky manager who rewards only perfect workloads. But sometimes, a little slacking off goes unnoticed — if you play it just right. Clumsy Room Maids is a trick-taking game where players first build their hand and task quota before competing to match their bids through tricks. At the start of each round, players secretly set three cards aside to define how many tricks they must win. During the trick-taking phase, skillful play — and occasional sly sabotage — is key to meeting your assigned workload exactly. Playable with 2 to 4 players, it also shines in 2v2 pair battles.
Clumsy Room Maids supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Clumsy Room Maids is 20–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Clumsy Room Maids for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Clumsy Room Maids has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
