📋 How to Play C-Suite

🎯 Objective

Players: 4-10 | Duration: ~12 minutes

You're software executives racing to ship features. But some players are Saboteurs trying to ship bugs instead!

  • Employees don't know who the saboteurs are
  • Saboteurs know each other secretly

🏆 Win Conditions

Employees Win: Deploy 5 Features AND correctly identify all Saboteurs

Saboteurs Win: Deploy 6 Bugs, run out the Company Clock, or elect a Saboteur as T.O. after 4+ Bugs. If any Employee final guess is wrong, Saboteurs win.

⏱️ Timers

🏢 Company Clock: 12:15 total. When it runs out, Saboteurs win!

🏃 Sprint Timer: 2-min sprints with 15s retrospectives between.

🎮 Game Flow

  1. Nomination: Meeting Organizer (M.O.) nominates a Transformation Officer (T.O.).
  2. Voting: Non-M.O. players vote Yes/No on the nominee (M.O. approval is implicit).
  3. Sprint Planning: M.O. draws 3 cards, discards 1, passes 2
  4. Deployment: T.O. deploys 1 card (Feature ✅ or Bug 🐛)
  5. Final Investigation: At 5 Features, each Employee submits the full Saboteur list. Every Employee guess must be exact for an Employee win.

Failed votes cost -30 seconds from both clocks!

🔥 Executive Actions

During Retrospectives, Saboteurs can use one Executive Action (once per retrospective):

📚 Mandatory Training
Unlocks: 2+ Features + 2:00 Company Clock
Forces a 1-minute rewarded training interruption
🎲 Org Restructuring
Unlocks: 3+ Bugs
Shuffles player seating order
