Welcome to Feierabend, also known as Finishing Time, an after-work worker-placement game for 1-6 players.
In Feierabend, you play as a team of workers (female, male, and non-binary). Every day you leave work stressed and are looking for some evening enjoyment – but thanks to a 70-hour work week and low income, you don't have many options for relaxation. Sure, you can go to the pub for drinks, go on blind dates to find a partner, or go fishing or jogging outdoors, but this isn't a good work-life balance. It's a rat race.
If you really want to relax, you need a higher income for yourself and your co-workers – and the women on your team should earn the same salary as the men. You want to work fewer hours each week, and taking a vacation would be good too. Let the union help you fix this depressing lifestyle. This change may stress your employer, but they are already earning enough to be able to decrease their own stress.
Each turn, you place one (or more) of your workers on one of the available after-work locations to gain relaxation. Taking time off costs nothing, but going to town for enjoyment requires you to spend your hard-earned money. Going on vacation for real relaxation isn't possible until your employer is convinced to give your workers some time off. When your workers meet partners, you'll gain access to even better relaxation options.
At the pub, workers can relax and have a drink at the bar – or they can earn extra income and gain more stress by working a side job there. You will also want to visit the union office to strike for better working conditions. If you have enough strike tokens, you can force your employer to decrease working hours, increase your income, decrease the gender gap, or even send you on vacation.
After all your workers have been placed and taken their after-work actions, they are forced to return to work. You place them all in your factory where they then gain stress, earn income, and gain strike tokens from the union, depending on the current working conditions.
The game ends when one team collects at least 40 relaxation. Your workers are then placed on after-work locations and return to work one final time, after which the most relaxed team wins Feierabend.
Create a better (i.e., more relaxing) life for your workers and their partners. Which team will relax best and win the game? But really, every team is a winner because they fought for better working conditions. Workers unite!
