    FROM: The Boss

    SUBJECT: Staff meeting this afternoon to follow up from the meeting yesterday

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Another meeting today. You have to be there in a few minutes, and you have to be
    functional, and the only way that’s going to happen is another cup of that cheap, barely
    palatable coffee in the break room. One problem though - there’s only enough left in the pot for
    one cup, and not enough time to make a new pot, and several of your equally unfortunate
    coworkers have just had the same idea. Better hope you get to it before they do...

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OBJECT OF THE GAME bottom of your card (for example, if you chose
    Conference Room B and another player chose

    players. The last player remaining after all
    others have been eliminated is victorious. If two or more players choose the same room
    in the same turn, then they get no dice this
    time.
    GAME SETUP
    After five rounds, Phase 1 is over.
    Take one set of room cards and arrange them
    in the middle of the table. It doesn’t matter
    which one goes where, as long as they are all GAMEPLAY: PHASE 2
    there. On each room card, place a number of
    dice of the matching color - 3 dice, plus 1 All players roll their dice simultaneously, then
    more for each player. Give one set of room resolve actions one at a time. Start with
    cards to each player. whoever rolled the fewest cups and go in
    ascending order from there (rock-paper-
    scissors to resolve ties). The key on the next
    GAMEPLAY: PHASE 1 page shows what you can do with each of your
    dice, depending on what you rolled. After
    Each player chooses one of their room cards everyone has taken their turn, whoever has the
    and places it face down in front of them. fewest cups now is eliminated from the game.
    When all players have chosen their rooms,
    turn your cards face up. If you are the only Repeat this process until only one player
    player who chose the room that you did, then remains. There are no winners here, but at

    Coffee Cup - get as many of these as you can

    Two Coffee Cups - even better

    Powdered Creamer - subtract this from the number of Cups you have when
    determining turn order (but not when determining who gets eliminated)

    Two Powdered Creamers - subtract them both

    Empty Pot - remove one Cup from another player

    Office Gossip - swap one die each between any two players

    Reply All - swap one of your dice with someone else's

    Rolly Chair - take one die from someone else

    Wet Floor - make someone else reroll one of their dice

    Special Keycard - reroll up to 3 non-Cup dice (yours or someone else's), even


    if you have already used their actions. Only count Cups or Angry Bosses on
    the new roll; ignore anything else that comes up.
    Social Media - you take your actions last this round, no matter how few Cups
    you got. If more than one player rolled Social Media, whoever has the most
    goes last, otherwise count Cups and Creamers like normal but only among
    yourselves, still going after everyone else.
    Angry Boss - remove two of your own Cups when determining who gets
    eliminated. You cannot get rid of this die with an Office Gossip or Reply All,
    but someone else can take it from you when using one of those dice.
    PRINT AND PLAY

    If you want to test the game out, all you need to do is print out the room cards below (one set for the table, and
    one for each player), plus the chart on the previous page, and get a big pile of six-sided dice (though you’ll need
    a way to tell which ones go with which room). If you’re really feeling ambitious you can put stickers with all of
    the icons on your dice, but you can also just convert which number on the die means which icon based on how
    they are arranged on the cards.
