you know what's really fun, doing job applications, your CV and applying for work. FUN. And now you can play a dice game about this absolute tedium!

Coming soon, doing your tax return; The Dice Game!

Christ, I've just done this, for real, for my wife's daughter. What fucking tedium it was as well. Her effort for her CV was totally piss poor so I basically had to throw it away and start from scratch.

God knows what her University told her to do but, as an employer, if I had seen her first CV it would have gone straight in the bin.

I definitely don't want to play a game about the experience of constructing it.......

The game is about constructing a CV in the same way living your life is constructing a CV.

FWIW, I know several people who tried this at Essen and said it was surprisingly good, given the subject matter.

I had totally forgotten about this game. Then yssterday I saw it on The Hotness and clicked the link.

I saw the box image and in disappointment said "hey, this ain't a game about aircraft carriers!"

( true story)

Pfft, Paranoia RPG was making players fill out paperwork years ago. Actually, I kinda like the look of this. It looks like an updated version of Careers and I loved that as a kid.

Besides, these kind of topics can lead to good games. The old Games Workshop game Calamity (the game of insurance selling) is great.

You know how some people hate Euros because it reminds them too much of what they're doing in real life? I got that feeling bad with this one.

It might be awesome, but my brain here's the main concept and says "NOPE".

Has anyone played Papers Please? It's a video game where all you do is look at paperwork and is surprisingly fun.

These sorts of games remind me of the "Papers & Paychecks" cartoon from the 1st edition Dungeon Masters Guide.

This game is awesome. But it doesn't take itself that seriously.
