Inside Job

About this board game

Inside Job is a mostly cooperative trick-taking card game for 2–5 players that plays in about 30 minutes. Players become secret agents working together to complete missions, but one hidden insider is waiting to undermine the group.

Every trick brings a new challenge as the agents try to complete their mission. At the same time, the insider sabotages the team and collects secret information. With everyone taking on an undercover role, each decision can raise questions about who is truly helping and who is acting suspiciously.

Success depends on cooperation, observation, and careful judgment. Can the agents complete their missions despite the secret saboteur, or will the insider get the best of them? The game encourages conversation and deduction without revealing exactly whom the group can trust.

• Mostly cooperative gameplay: Work together while watching for hidden opposition.
• Trick-taking mechanics: Complete a mission with each trick.
• Secret roles: Undercover identities create uncertainty throughout the game.
• High replayability: Variants add complexity for groups looking for a fresh challenge.

Designed for groups of three to five players in its core description, Inside Job offers an entertaining party-game experience with elements of social deduction, role-playing, and mystery. Its combination of teamwork and concealed motives makes every round a test of trust.

Whether your group enjoys traditional trick-taking games or prefers reading the table for suspicious behavior, Inside Job provides a compact game night experience built around missions, secrets, and the search for the insider.
