Note from the founder

Hey.

You already know…

Different logo. Same characters.

At some point you stopped expecting it to make sense. You learned the vocabulary.

They had a word for everything: Alignment, Synergy, Bandwidth, Circle back.

Everyone had a framework.

Nobody had a clue.

And once you saw it, you couldn't unsee it. You just got better at keeping a straight face.

You've experienced corporate.

In 2025, during midsummer, my friend and co-creator Rob taught us a game he’d picked up during his time in Arizona, US.

At first, none of us wanted to play.

One round became nine.

Nobody noticed.

We had a deck of poker cards and a blurry photo of someone’s handwriting (rules). That was it.

So we made it a real thing.

LAYOFF is the game that turns your nicest friend into a scheming corporate backstabber by round two.

Learn it in four minutes. Play it for four hours.

Your friends will love hate you.

Batch 0. Limited run.

Get on the list.
