What's In The BOX!!!
- 6 sets of 6 player tokens (36)
- Critical-Fix Rule Book
- Around 200 cards
- 1 6-sided die
An IT workplace theme that feels painfully familiar
Remember that time ---[REDACTED]--- dropped the new crazy expensive CPU on the Motherboard pins?
Or when you fought with a stripped screw for 4 hours!! Just to run out of time and someone else STOLE!! credit for the fix?
Testing Phase: because nothing is ever truly fixed
You finally fix a Ticket. Great. Now it goes into Testing for one full round. That means everyone else gets a turn to sabotage it, reopen it, or steal the credit. The moment you feel safe is the moment your coworkers show their true colors.
Reopen it. Troubleshoot it. Make it worth more. Pray it doesnt get stolen.
In Critical Fix, Tickets get continually “improved" as players reopen and "troubleshoot" tickets. Every time a Ticket is reopened, its value increases, tempting the whole table to escalate the chaos instead of letting anyone have nice things.
No IT Degree Required
You don’t need to know why it's always DNS to enjoy ruining your friends' plans. The humor captures the universal chaos of surviving a workday. Blinking lights, endless complaints, and coworkers saying "Hey, quick question." It’s the perfect game for anyone who enjoys a little competitive sabotage.
Painstakingly Drawn By Hand
Endless style meetings and revisions shaped almost 100 unique, hand-crafted card illustrations. Zero AI, just effort.

Built for game nights that don’t have time for a 40-page rulebook
Fast to start
5-minute setup, compact box, and you’re in the data center.
Easy to learn
10 minutes or less to get everyone playing without a rules summit.
Stays interactive
You're never safe from the chaos. Even when it’s not your turn, unexpected collisions can force you to hand over cards or swap hands with the active player.
The chaos is rewarding, not random
Critical Fix blends luck and light strategy so every round feels like a series of choices, not a coin flip. Do you stack a few tickets and risk testing? Or keep them in your hand.. just in case...?
