Critical Fix is a fast-paced, sabotage-filled card game where 2–6 technicians race to resolve IT tickets before their coworkers do. Each player draws from a shared deck of Repair, Action, and Ticket cards. Fix servers by matching the right Repairs to Problem Tickets but watch out! Opponents can sabotage your fixes, reopen tickets, or flood the data center with new problems.

On your turn, you’ll draw a card, open and/or repair tickets, and play Actions to tilt the odds in your favor. To complete a fix, attach the correct Part to a Ticket and send it into Testing. If it survives one full round without getting reopened, it Resolves, earning you 1 point. Be the first technician to Resolve 7 Tickets to win.

With stackable Tickets and a mix of tactical planning and sabotage, Critical Fix captures the exaggerated hilarious stress of a real-life corporate IT. Easy to learn and quick to play, it’s perfect for game night, office battles, or anyone who’s ever fought a server at 3 a.m.
