About the game
In Security is a compact dice-rolling game for 3-6 players. Players assume the role of security employees that spend their office hours hacking into their employer's own mainframe. The goal of the game is to blackmail your boss into giving you a promotion, which is achieved by collecting a stash of state secrets and juicy office gossip. The first players to have 14 Secrets wins the game. Every turn, players have the choice to spend one of their Secrets to start a new hack (rerolling the dice pool), or simply scavenge for remains from the previous hack. They then choose an action from the die pool, removing it from the pool in the process. Players constantly have to weigh up their needs: which option to take yourself vs. which option not to leave for others, and creating new options for yourself vs. not creating new options for others. This game was originally created for Randall's Dice Or No Dice contest, which ran in January 2014 on BoardGameGeek.

Questions and answers
In Security supports 3–6 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 In Security is 20 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 In Security for ages 8 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.
In Security has a complexity rating of 1.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
