Hi everyone! I just released Boss'em Inc. — a fast-food Texas hold'em roguelike set in an office, where your coworkers are the bankrolls and the only way up is through them.
Poker, but make it a roguelike: sit down with 1–3 coworkers, take everything they've got, and climb the corporate ladder — one busted bankroll at a time. Their gold is their life, and so is yours. Hit zero, and you're done.
No time for preflop? Good — we skip it. Hole cards hit the felt, the flop drops, and the betting starts. Every hand gets to the point.
- 19 perks, three tiers — build a straight machine, a flush engine, or an economy build that out-earns the whole table.
- Bosses bend the rules — 4 celebrity bosses with rule-level signature perks. Robin Bid taxes the richest every round; Sun Kim locks the table so nobody folds; Don Tariff takes a cut of your raises.
- Your rivals shop too — every round, enemies buy perks from their own stack. They can, and will, bankrupt themselves. Greed kills on both sides of the table.
- Diamonds are forever — every run pays out toward a permanent talent tree: new characters, new perks, bigger tables.
- 10 office characters — from the Intern with a lucky ace to the CEO hiding a flush. Everyone has a signature perk and a way to ruin your day.
Playable right in your browser, or download for Windows / Linux. There's also a free demo if you want a taste first.
