Aggretsuko Work/Rage Balance
Your goal in Aggretsuko: Work/Rage Balance is to get out of work as quickly as possible — that is, to rid yourself of all cards in your hand. The game lasts five workdays (i.e., five rounds), and whoever has the lowest score once the weekend arrives wins.
Â
The deck consists of 86 cards, with two cards each numbered 1-10 in four suits, along with three 11s, two 12s, and one 13. Each player starts with a hand of thirteen cards. The leader of the round plays a combination of 1-5 cards, then each subsequent player can play the same number of cards but of a higher value or pass. Once all but one person has passed, the cards are cleared from the table, then the last player to play leads something else.
Â
Once per round, when you pass, you can rage, placing your rage card on a card that’s currently on the table. When these cards are cleared, you can place the claimed card in your hand.
Â
Note that a “Rainbow Bomb” — four consecutive cards with each suit represented — can be played on your turn no matter what’s currently being played, and this can be beaten only by a higher Rainbow Bomb.
Â
When one played voids their hand, the round ends. Everyone with cards in hand then scores 1-3 points per card based on how many they have, then you shuffle for a new round unless the weekend is here.
