## Description
In *I'm the Boss: The Dice Game*, each player starts as an expert in one or more of six fields. The goal is to broaden your expertise by rolling dice and playing cards that grant temporary mastery of new areas. As you collect more specialties, you can launch deals that require a specific set of experts. Once a deal is opened, the table becomes a bustling marketplace: everyone negotiates freely to assemble the right combination of experts, and cards like "I'm the Boss!" let you seize control of the current negotiation. Payouts increase after every two deals, raising the stakes for more lucrative agreements. The game ends after eight deals, and the player with the most money wins. The blend of dice rolling and lively bargaining creates a fast‑paced (30‑50 minute) experience ideal for 3‑6 players who enjoy talking, bluffing, and constantly adjusting their strategies. While the rules are easy to grasp, balancing luck and negotiation skill ensures each playthrough feels fresh and full of twists.
