	Description Edit \| History

In this light, humorous, and fast paced card game players are roommates trying to reach their slack goal by inviting over cool friends, buying stuff, and performing activities (like getting tattoos and piercings). Each player has a job which provides free time (actions) and income. 'Whenever' cards are used to hinder your roommates and defend yourself against uninvited 'guests'.
