Clumsy Room Maids (“PGC Presents” Title)

Clumsy Room Maids is a part of the "PGC Presents" line, a curated selection of games that are harder to find, recommended by us, or are the releases of a fellow independent publishing company or designer that we respect. "PGC Presents" is a project to help boost the signal of indie creators that we love to support and think others might as well.

Clumsy Room Maids is a release from Japan by designer Shibu (Peter’s 2 Sheepdogs, Thank You Santa, Hollywood Sensation). Portland Game Collective has nothing to do with the release or production of this game. We stock this game in an effort to help a fellow indie designer, Shibu, get their releases to a wider audience.“PGC Presents” titles are not guaranteed to have English rules and may require translation or a quick internet search.

Description from BGG:

You're a maid trying to balance hard work with sneaky shortcuts. You'll take on tasks like bed-making, room service, and laundry, aiming to impress a finicky manager who rewards only perfect workloads. But sometimes, a little slacking off goes unnoticed — if you play it just right.

Clumsy Room Maids is a trick-taking game where players first build their hand and task quota before competing to match their bids through tricks. At the start of each round, players secretly set three cards aside to define how many tricks they must win. During the trick-taking phase, skillful play — and occasional sly sabotage — is key to meeting your assigned workload exactly. Playable with 2 to 4 players, it also shines in 2v2 pair battles.
