Something's wrong. It's a rainy day in Seattle, you're bored, and you live in your mom's basement. But that's normal. Your mom's been harping on you to get a job. That's normal too. No, what's really wrong is that you're about to give up this perfect gig and actually try to get a life.

Your friends get wind of your harebrained idea and decide to race you. Not because they particularly want to get lives, but just to prove that they can do it faster than you can.

Your objective? Get a job. Get an apartment. Survive the trials of life-on-your-own. Your pitfalls? You've got no taste, a crappy car, and aspirations of being a success without lifting a finger. And sometimes your loser genes get the better of you.

Game Synopsis: Get Out is a Monopoly-style game with three tracks instead of one, and a couple of nice mechanical twists. The squares on the outer board are jobs, and the squares on the middle board are apartments. You can take as many jobs as you want, but each one slows you down, making it harder to get to Payday. Money doesn't really matter anyway; the real point of the game is to spend four months in the terrifying center ring. Not that they necessarily have to be four months in a row....
