About the Game

Last One Employed is a competitive party card game for 3–10 players about surviving a tech company where deadlines, production incidents, and your coworkers are equally dangerous.

Choose one of 32 office roles—from Project Manager, System Administrator, and QA Lead to HR, DevOps, a remote freelancer, or a gloriously unstable founder. Every role has its own deck, play style, attacks, defenses, and ways to recover.

Stay on the payroll

Everyone starts with Patience, Stress, and Budget. Lose Patience, gain Stress, steal Budget, buy office perks, and redirect blame. When your Stress catches up with your Patience, you are fired. The last employee standing wins.

Every turn is corporate chaos

• Optimize your hand: discard and draw back to seven cards.
• Play an action against a coworker—or save yourself.
• Delegate a hidden task into somebody else's Inbox.
• Resolve your own Inbox and hope it does not trigger a chain of problems.
• Answer attacks with blocks, counterattacks, and redirects.

Production incidents hit the whole table, office perks are limited, and no plan survives contact with HR. Even fired players stay involved by voting against those still employed.

One screen. Everyone's phones.

Run the game on a Windows, macOS, or Linux computer and put it on a shared screen. Other players join from their phones through a browser using the QR code. No mobile app or extra controllers are required.
