Creating a corporate-themed card game after a surprising layoff experience

I recently experienced a layoff during a 14-minute Zoom call, which was quite the shock. They cut off my access to everything before the call even ended, leaving me feeling blindsided. To cope with the situation, I decided to channel my frustrations into something creative. I developed a card game that turns all the corporate nonsense into a fun and engaging experience. In the game, each player starts with four face-down cards representing their 'employee file,' which contains dirt on them—stuff they've only seen half of. The goal is to keep your job by having the lowest score. Players can spy on each other, dump their worst cards into someone else's file, or even swap files. When you think you're in the clear, you can call 'LAYOFF,' but if you're wrong, it comes with a penalty. Our game nights have turned into a mix of backstabbing and sharing rants about our old bosses, which adds to the fun. I'm curious if others would be interested in playing a game like this!
