Temp Worker Assassins

About this board game

Temp Worker Assassins is a deck-building and worker-placement game for 2–4 players, played across a five-day temporary contract. BoardGameGeek lists a 60-minute play time, while the game’s description estimates that a session takes around 40 minutes.

You have been hired to infiltrate Bureaucrat Castle and take out as many employees as possible. Every target presents a different challenge and bounty, from the remarkably puny Health and Safety Halfling to the unsurprisingly resilient Acquisition & Merger Viking.

Because company policy searches new staff at the door, conventional equipment is not an option. Instead, you must rely on makeshift weaponry that you manage to smuggle inside, along with stationery you can “find” during your time in the office.

• Deck building: Develop the cards and resources available to you during your temporary assignment.
• Worker placement: Decide where to send your workers as you move through the office.
• Five-day structure: Use each round to steal stationery, sneak around, and pursue your targets.
• Variable targets: Face employees with different levels of difficulty and bounty.

Each day brings another opportunity to make use of office supplies and improvised tools while working toward the largest possible haul. The combination of deck building, worker placement, and a distinctly bureaucratic setting gives Temp Worker Assassins an unusual workplace twist.

With room for 2–4 players and a compact five-round format, Temp Worker Assassins turns a temporary office contract into a race to complete the most lucrative assignment. Just remember: good luck, and may your pencils be reasonably sharp.
