01
The Standard Year
4–8 employees · play for money
Four Board words, one memo, two changes each on the way down. Sabotage pays, and so does being the last one standing.
-
02
The Small Merger
6–8 employees · no money
Two of you do not really work here. Everyone must change exactly two things, so the damage never stands out.
-
03
The Merger
9–20 employees · two rooms, two devices
Room is where you sit. Department is who you work for. They are not the same thing.
