About the game
Work on a day like today? No way. Time to call in sick. Hopefully no one else had the same idea. It's a hilarious climbing shedding game fun for the whole family! Use Up All Your Sick Days is simple. There is no turn order and you need to play a card with the next day or same worker currently on top of the discard pile. But if go to play at the same time as someone else, you both leave the card and draw a 2 cards as a punishment. (You also can't play after yourself, and you could play a card face down as a doctor's note, making it wild.) Play all your cards to lose a tired worker token and draw back to 7 cards. The first half of the players to get rid of their tired worker tokens win! Solo/co-op rules are for 1-6 players and are much more puzzly! You play HR organizing the worker's schedule. Co-op limits communication, but you you can spend pizza tokens to flag where you want to play later. Solo has cozy mode with no automa and challenging mode with an easy to run automa. —description from the publisher
