Socially Conscious Game Entreprenuership CEO game

This game was a commentary on the CEO’s position and the board of directors power. Here are the rules:

Look at the people around you, say hello and introduce yourselves; you’re now an entrepreneurial team. You have all decided to create a gaming company together. You all have the skills required to create this company although, lets face it, you don’t need 6 people to do a job one person can do. It’s time to pass out titles and decide who does what in your company. There are 6 character cards labeled “cc,” the most outspoken person on the team shuffles the cards and deals one card to each team member. After each team member receives a card you may look at your cards. These cards hold the title of your position in the company. There are 6 possible positions that must be filled; CEO(Chief Executive Officer), CFO(Chief Financial Officer), HRM(Human Resource Manager), GD(Game Designer), CP(Computer Programmer), and GA(Graphic Artist). Each position is important to your company and all keep it functioning properly.  After a year your company has already started to turn a profit and another company offers to help you out by giving you a very large sum of money with the catch that you must let them hire a board of directors to manage your company for 5 years. All of you talk it over and agree that this would help the company and that you are all willing to take the risk. Your company announces your decision and, once your CEO has signed all the paper work sealing the deal, the other company begins to put restraints on all of you. Tension begins to grow when the Board of Directors decides that only one of you should remain in the company and the rest should go. You are all given your corresponding deck containing actions you will take in each turn. Some actions can be used in your favor others will cause problems and could potentially get you fired. After you have received a deck you shuffle your cards for 30 seconds. At the end of thirty seconds you must stop shuffling your deck and begin the game. The CEO goes first and play continues in a clockwise turn base. Each turn every player will draw a card and follow the action specified on the cards description; which is on the list that will now be passed out to each player corresponding to character. If a turn is skipped the skipped team member must still draw a card and place it directly in his/her discards pile without looking at it. When the CEO is the last member of the team left, the game is over.

Play testing reactions:

when we played this game the playtesters told me they liked it, but also said I needed to add the descriptions of what the cards did to the cards themselves. Other than that they like it, yet I think they got distracted at the end of the game.
