Employee of the Month (2004)

About this game

Employee of the Month – a coveted position in any company. With the title comes a prime parking space, a fashionable plaque for the office, and most importantly, extra dough! Some may think that becoming Employee of the Month is out of their reach, that random forces in the universe determine who that lucky Employee will be – but they’re wrong. Anyone can become the Employee of the Month – will it be you?" Employee of the Month is a bidding game for 2-6 players in which you bid to do Favors for your Boss or your Coworkers in exchange for Kudos or Brownie Points (good) and Suspicions (bad). Only the players who do the most favors for each group must score Suspicions, and those who do the least score Kudos, so the game is more tactical than strategic. Employee of the Month is illustrated by Rick Enright (Nobody But Us Chickens). Release date: June 2004

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 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.
