Pubes is a card game based on the public (also known as civil) service. You are a brave cog in the mighty machine of public service, valiantly tasked with completing projects while fending off bureaucracy, micromanagement, and good old-fashioned sheer bloody-mindedness. Each project comes with a stack of task cards—some helpful, some downright diabolical—that must be tackled to see the project through. You'll also encounter special cards that let you pull off clever maneuvers, and blocker cards designed to thwart the hopes and dreams of your rivals (or at least slow them down a bit). But beware: other players are lurking, ever eager to swoop in and bask in the glory of your project’s success. After all, what’s a little backstabbing among civil servants? The Purrrfect gift for the Pubes in your life.
