Dancing Eggplant's Employee of the Month

Dancing Eggplant Games, recently renamed from Diet Evil Games (publisher of Nobody But Us Chickens and FraudSquad), has announced plans to publish the card game Employee of the Month, designed by Alan R. Moon and Aaron Weissblum.

In Employee of the Month, players vie for that title by bidding to do favors for either management or other employees. The problem is that­ what makes management happy will make your coworkers seethe, and vice versa.

"Just like in the workplace, where a delicate balance exists in trying to maintain good relations with both your coworkers and your bosses," says Dancing Eggplant president Anye Sellers. "Players in Employee of the Month work to keep both of these groups happy, without letting other players do it better."

This bidding game is for 3 to 6 players, ages 8 and up, and takes 20 to 30 minutes per game.

Moon and Weissblum's other collaborations include New England, San Marco and Oasis.
