About the game
Work is an everyday battle. You're surrounded by micromanagers, lazy interns, and coworkers who hoard the office supplies. And to make things worse...someone ate the last donut in the break room. Take over the office with this parody of the classic gameplay of Risk. Move your Manager, Intern, and Donut pawns around the board as you sabotage co-workers, mobilize your workforce, and steal, swap, or lose office supplies. After all, what's a little backstabbing among colleagues as you climb that corporate ladder? Fill in real co-workers' names on some of the Drama cards. Did you spread a photo of a co-worker picking his nose? Maybe you left another nasty note in the break room, or told everyone it was someone else who clogged the toilet on Taco Tuesday. It's the ups and downs of office politics as you aim to move a Manager and an Intern into 4 out of 6 departments to gain control and win the game. —description from the publisher
