Fictional boss card
Full AI Pivot
The board decided. Everything is AI now. Your title? "AI-adjacent engineer." Your codebase? "Legacy."
The scenario
The board has spoken, and suddenly your entire codebase is legacy. You are no longer an engineer but an AI-adjacent engineer, tasked with surviving a pivot that adds 24 burnout to your meter. This boss event forces you to adapt to a corporate reality where your previous expertise is instantly devalued.
How it plays
You must counter the 24 burnout using cards from the tools and humor categories. Additionally, any non-tool cards you play lose 3 effectiveness, making your other defenses significantly weaker during this specific boss fight.
Why it feels familiar
It captures the panic of being told your specialized stack is obsolete overnight because it is not currently in the trend cycle. You spend your day rewriting documentation for a feature that does not exist yet.
This boss adds 24 burnout and has a special encounter rule: non tools lose effectiveness.
