Frazzled Freelancers

We’ve only gone and made a bloody board game!

After years of researching and experiencing freelancer precarity and burnout, we’ve stepped out from behind our spreadsheets to design Frazzled Freelancers - the fast paced roll-and-move board game for burnt out freelancers!🔥

This artwork, cleverly disguised as a board game, is a comical (and unfortunately accurate) take on freelance life and all its curveballs.

Will you manage to complete all your jobs before a curveball drains your resources?
Will you prioritise yourself, or support your fellow freelancers to feel less frazzled?
Or will you just quit?!

**Not available for purchase because we can’t afford to make more than 5 copies.**
