Content Notes:Retail Edition of Temp Worker Assassins.
Each of you have been hired to infiltrate Bureaucrat Castle (through a five day temporary contract) and take out as many employees as possible.
Targets will range in difficulty and bounty from the remarkably puny Health and Safety Halfling to the unsurprisingly resilient Acquisition & Merger Viking.
Unfortunately, it is company policy to search new staff at the door, so you will have to use whatever makeshift weaponry you manage to smuggle in and what stationery you can ‘find’ on site. Good luck and may your pencils be reasonably sharp.
Temp Worker Assassins is a deck building, worker placement game for 2 – 4 players. Played over 5 days (rounds) it will take you around 40 minutes to steal the stationery, sneak around the office and kill the employees.

About The Game

Temp Worker Assassins is a fun, strategic and quick multi-player game. Each player takes turns placing assassins in a fantasy office with the aim to steal as much stationery and kill as many full-time employees as possible.
Each employee has a toughness you must overcome in order to gain the gold bounty on their head. The player with the most gold at the end of the week wins the game!

With so many Department Cards to choose from and so many Targets that could be eliminated, there’s a lot of variety between each game. And even then it’s up to you to decide what strategy you would like to follow in order to win!

How To Play  

Playing the game is simple. Once the game is set up (see Example Set Up image below), each player chooses their starting deck and corresponding meeples. There are no differences between the sets other than your colour preference for assassin office-ware. Shuffle your deck and draw five cards.Example Set Up
Each player takes turns placing an assassin in the office until all assassins have been placed (the end of the day).
When placing an assassin a player has two main choices:
1) Occupy a Department 
Place an assassin and the effects of the space are activated. E.g., Pete places an assassin in the Spiteful Statistics Dept., so he draws two cards.
2) Attempt an Assassination
To attempt an assassination a player places an assassin on a face up Target Card. That player then plays cards from their hand one at a time until either their total attack is equal to or higher than the Target Card’s defence score, or until they can play no further cards.
Play continues until the end of Friday, after which the player with the most gold wins the game and becomes this week’s top assassin!
