At the Office (2023)

About this game

At the Office is a roll-and-write game in which you roll five dice, choose a result, and assign it to a member of your team on the score sheet. When the active player chooses one result of the roll, it becomes unavailable to others. You need to consider the big picture and manage your team to score as many points as possible and win the title of Boss of the Year. Grab some pencils and dice, and get to work! ••• INGSOC 1984 plays the same as At the Office, but with players now trying to organize new recruits for the political party by placing them in their ideal position. Make a good team, or you will be vaporized. The great brother watches you.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
