User summary 100万人死んだ部署 (Hyakumannin Shinda Busho) in English would be "The Department That Claimed a Million Lives". (In Japan, there is a picture book named "Hyakumankai Ikita Neko" (The Cat That Lived a Million Times), and the game title is derived from that).

Welcome to the department that claimed a million lives!

You are assigned to a department that is said to have killed a million workers, and have four job cards to work on.

You cannot finish your jobs without the part-time worker Miya-chan's help, so everyone competes to get her. When a player finishes all their jobs, her working time runs out and everyone else has to work over-time to finish their remaining jobs by themselves. Add up the face values of cards in their hand, and that's the over-time hours this week.

If a player's total over-time exceeds 300 hours, that player suffers Karoshi (death from overwork) and loses the game. All other players win because the department gets investigated and all survivors are liberated from overworking.

If all players survive four weeks without exceeding 300 hours, all players win the game.

There are four types of cards in the game. (1) paperwork: Playable while you have control of Miya-chan to finish a job (2) snack: Playable in response to paperwork to gain control of Miya-chan (3) toy: Playable while you have control of Miya-chan to make others discard snacks (4) paperwork with candy: Playable while a toy is active to gain control of Miya-chan

Use them wisely and finish all jobs with Miya-chan.

Publisher's summary 100万人死んだ部署へようこそ! あなたたち社員(プレイヤー)は『100万人死んだ部署』と呼ばれる部署に配属され、仕事(4枚の手札)を渡されることになります。 手札は、アルバイトの『ミヤちゃん』に手伝ってもらうことで減らすことができます。 社員同士で「ミヤちゃんに手伝ってもらう権利」を奪い合い、誰よりも早く自分の仕事(手札)をゼロにしましょう! 手札が残ってしまった人は、カードの数字を合計して「残業時間」として記録していきます。 勝利条件は2つあり、①誰かの残業時間が累計300時間を超えて『過労死(負け)』した際に生きていること、 または ②全員で4週間生き残ること、です。 ゲームのフェイズは4段階あり、それぞれ「準備」「スタートプレイヤーの決定」「権利を奪い合うメインのゲーム」「残業時間の計算と勝利判定」になります。 この準備~勝利判定までの流れを1週間と呼び、誰も死んでいなければ手札を配りなおして再開します(1週間を終えるのには3分もかかりません!)。 メインのゲームでは、権利を持っているプレイヤーが手札から場にカードをプレイしていきます。カードに描かれた4種類の絵柄で権利を奪い合います。 権利を持っているときにプレイできる書類、書類が出た時に出せて権利を奪える「おやつ」、権利を持つときに他全プレイヤーのおやつを捨てさせる「おもちゃ」、おもちゃが出た時におやつの代わりに出せて権利をうばえる「おまけつき書類」の4種類があります。
