About the game
What you do in a play session
Funemployed is a card-based party game that turns your living room into a bustling recruitment office, but with a twist of absurdity that only imagination can deliver. Each player receives a deck of outlandish qualifications – from being a dragon that speaks panda to owning a DeLorean for time travel – and the goal is to convince others you’re the perfect fit for any job, whether it’s astronaut, lawyer, or priest. The core mechanic is acting: participants must improvise interviews, spin stories, and use all their charisma to earn points. In addition, the game features an open draft system where you can pick cards from a shared pool, and a player judge who decides who truly shined. The RPG and storytelling elements make each session unique, as no one knows who will use panda‑talk to land the chef position. The end result? A lot of laughs, absurd arguments, and the feeling that you’re “funemployed” – working a job that only exists in your head. If you love card games that blend humor, improvisation, and a dash of creativity, Funemployed is the perfect pick to spice up any gathering.
