Chez Geek: House Party edition

Players are roommates trying to maximize personal slack while coping with jobs, visitors, pets and household antics. Each player receives a Job card that sets free time, income, a special ability and a slack goal, plus a starting hand of Life cards. On a turn players draw to hand limit, resolve variable job rolls, attempt to call Person cards into their room, then spend free time to play Activity cards or go shopping with Thing cards within their income. Whenever cards can be played at any time and some cards cancel or alter others. Slack values on played cards change each player’s slack total; the first to reach or exceed their slack goal wins.
