Paperworks by fabbyrob
A board game inspired worker placement game where you send interns out to do your paperwork. But often they screw up and just end up causing you to have to do more paperwork.
The more paperwork that has piled up the harder it is to get done, and sending more interns to work on a task can have grave consequences.
It is quick and small, the balance has not really been tweaked at all, some of the actions are just trash.

Overall, it's an interesting game. After figuring out how the game works, I started to have fun with it. If I had to say that something wasn't the best, it would have to be that the game seems to role negative modifiers way more often than the positive ones, sometimes leaving me with 0 interns before turn 6. Other than that, Good Job!

Yeah, I was intentionally aiming for something that would lean towards making you lose. Given enough time I think making it a co-op game would be fun, and for those to be entertaining you really have to have a good chance of losing. So all the largest rolls are negatives; I want it to be a struggle. Of course currently you can win really easily by never allocating your interns and just hitting next turn a bunch. I thought about adding a penalty for idle interns to stop this, but didn't really have time.

This game was a bit hard to understand, but once I did, I found myself playing a few more rounds!
