You’d Better Watch Out

Ed Silverstone, Reading Megagames

Santa is missing! Can Christmas be saved? And who will take the top job next? You'd Better Watch Out is a game of cut-throat corporate politics set against a whimsical festive backdrop. Based around a simple worker placement mechanism, the core of the game is negotiation and collective bargaining.

• 14-40 players

• Mostly simple, approachable roles - although the existing management team are likely to decline in power and influence, and will need to be cast accordingly.

• Around 500 cards

• Need to acquire/have around 800 generic tokens (or fancy bespoke tokens if you prefer)
