Human Resources

As the HR director for a huge corporation, your job is to hire talent before your rivals can… and to replace the workers who burn out on the job.

Human Resources is a simultaneous action-selection game. Players must gain resources (workers) and expend them to perform actions, which can result in gaining more workers from a common pool, poaching workers from other players, or earning points. Actions can be made stronger by earning upgrades, but doing so leaves workers vulnerable to other players.

The simultaneous play leads to a lot of second-guessing of other players' actions, and packs a full Euro-game feel into a mere 30-minute package. An optional module offers variable setups, for increased replayability.
