Crisis: The Game Designers

About this expansion

Crisis: The Game Designers is a 2016 board game for 1–5 players, with a playing time of 120 minutes. Contained in the Brettspiel Adventskalender 2016 for Day 10, it adds two tiles to the cloth bag used during setup.

At the beginning of a new round, including the first round, draw tiles from the bag as normal. If you draw a Game Designer, place the tile with the other Employee tiles in one of the spaces at the 9. Employees location.

The Game Designer follows the same broad reservation and claiming process as other Employees. During the 3. Planning phase, a player may reserve a Game Designer Employee, then claim it during the 4. Operations phase.

• Add the two tiles to the cloth bag during setup.
• Place a drawn Game Designer with the other Employee tiles.
• Reserve it during Planning and claim it during Operations.
• Use it during Production to fill a necessary Employee position or as a bonus Employee.

During 13. Production, the Game Designer provides valuable flexibility. It may fulfill any necessary Employee position in a company card, allowing it to stand in for the required role during resolution.

Like other Employees, the Game Designer can also serve as a bonus Employee. When used this way, it adds +1 to any modifier provided by a Company card. Crisis: The Game Designers therefore gives the employee pool a versatile option that can support either required positions or Company card bonuses.
