## Description
Check out this rather peculiar expansion for Ugly Gryphon Inn! You know that moment when you're carrying a tray full of pint glasses and think, "Wow, I need some help!"? Well, that's pretty much how things kick off here. In 'Innployees', you'll need to hire staff to lend you a hand at the inn. Each round, you can bring a new helper onto the team, but be careful: each one has their quirks, and these can cause quite a bit of chaos at the bar, especially with the rowdy patrons already there. 

When you hire an employee, you flip their card and deal with the quirks that will interact with the current patrons, triggering effects that can be... interesting. After things settle down and the new hire is integrated, every time you bring a new patron to the inn, you'll have to resolve that employee's special action. These actions are unique to each one, and after they're used, the employee's card is discarded. The ultimate goal is to ensure all three employees are hired and their abilities resolved by the end of the game. It's a solo challenge that demands planning and a bit of luck to handle the unexpected twists!
