About the game
What you do in a play session
In Colleagues, you'll discover that in the corporate world, being mediocre is an art form. The game turns office stress into a hilarious competition where your goal is to survive without standing out - not too much, not too little. Each round, you play Effort cards trying to stay in the comfort zone: those who try too hard get extra work, slackers get reprimanded. Use your Coffee tokens wisely to bluff, invent creative excuses, or hide in the next pointless meeting. But watch out for coworkers - they're dying to dump their worst tasks on you! Over three intense weeks (which actually last just 30 minutes), you'll balance strategy and luck to end with the fewest points and cleanest record. Perfect for office veterans or anyone who wants to laugh at corporate madness.
