When the Boss tossed everyone a large pile of assignments all due tomorrow, there's not much choice but to stay overtime. Everyone just wants to go home, and will make sure they are the first to do so!
In Overtime, players take the roles of office workers, trying to finish up their assignments and go home. Everyone starts off as an Average Joe, the ordinary white collar worker, but as opportunities present themselves, you can show your true nature by becoming those Employee stereotypes like the Office Buddy, the Slacker, or the annoying Energy Vampire! Be the first player to get rid off all your assignment cards to win: You can acheive this by working hard and honestly, or be shady and play foul by passing off your assignments to the other players... play the cards dealt to you as best as you can! Of course, everything happens under the watchful eye of the Boss, so plan carefully.
All players draw from the same deck of cards, managing the resources they get to work and rest during their own turn, and interfere with their opponents during the turns of other players. A players actions depend on their Employee type, as it defines their action limit, card draw and hand size. The more you work, the more tired you get, making it harder to complete your tasks without resting to recharge. But while you take a break, other might use the opportunity to hand out their assignments to you, so watch out, and keep a Boss card in hand to defend yourself.
Overtime is a satirical take on those all to familiar real life situations people regularly experience, but in the form of a fun and competitive race. The clock ticks down the turns, and if no player manages to finish their tasks by midnight, when the 8th turn ends, no one wins.
