Nightshift Board Game

Available Now!

Get your hands on the
hottest new board game!

A game like no other...

Can you hustle?

Players adopt the role of a Dancer and must charm worthwhile Customers into emptying their wallets. The Player with the most money at the end of the night wins. Be careful about interfering with another Dancer’s Customer, or your night may not run so smoothly...

1-5 Players | 40-90 Mins | 18+

4 Game Modes:

Competitive Mode Plus

Dive into a cutthroat environment where your aim is to individually amass the most money. If you enjoy rivalry, causing chaos and relishing in the thrill of challenging your opponents, this is for you!

2v2 Mode Plus

Pair up with a teammate to share secrets and formulate plans to outmaneuver the opposing duo. This mode emphasises communication and joint strategy, making it ideal for players who enjoy teamwork and shared victory.

Co-Op Mode Plus

Transform the game into a friendly, collaborative quest as you join forces with fellow players to reach a shared financial goal over the night. You'll need to work together, utilising each other's abilities and powers for mutual benefit.

Solo Mode Plus

Compete against Diamond, the club's most talented showgirl. You'll need to distract tipping customers from being captivated by her while still maximising your own earnings.

Choose Your Dancer

Welcome to the club, you’re here to make money! Each of you has unique strengths and should use them to your advantage.

Explore the Club

Explore the club in search of worthwhile Customers, then get up close and personal with them in the Private Room or VIP Room.

Meet the Customers

Each Customer is unique, so choose them wisely. Consider their Wealth, Loyalty, and likely Outcomes.

Will you help your fellow Dancers, or will you play dirty?

Perform on Stage to gain Power Cards, which can be used to advance your own agenda, or undermine others...

LOVE!

So fun! Such a great way to game-ify dancers' real experiences at the club, and I love that it was created by a former dancer, really feels authentic because of that. Only reason I didn't give it that tenth star is that it is very hard to win in solo mode.

Obsessed!!!

I love Exotic Cancer, I’ve adored their art for like 5 years now. Nightshift beautifully showcases Exotic Cancer’s incredible creativity! The innovative artwork matches the engaging game design. This game is silly, competitive, versatile and somehow still so easy to learn and play. The actual quality of the materials is lovely too, from the figurines, to the cards and money, it all feels so good in my hands, so luxurious and satisfying. I also love being able to play in different modes, like solo and teams! I’m not even really much of a game board person, but when this game dropped I knew I HAD to have it. And I am not disappointed!! This is the perfect game for the girls, gays and theys…. And maybe even grandma if she’s cool. 5 stars for sure, cuz there really isn’t any other game like this out there !!

Being the better Stripper never felt so good

Nightshift is an interesting turn/round based game that makes card drawing and dice rolls fun and exciting, the constant goal of gaining big money is unique and all the time spent playing it is worth it.

Even the money feels expensive

This is the coolest board game ever and I’m obsessed. Everything the box is such high quality too! Highly recommend

Good Game

I preordered the game after watching a video of its gameplay and enjoyed adding it to my collection. It’s neatly packed, easy to follow, and entertaining to play. There are multiple modes for replayability along with cohesive artwork and short descriptions for each customer that give a story. Overall a great buy.

LOVED PLAYING THIS GAME!

Beautifully and thoughtfully done. Fun character cards for the patrons, really unique board with clever pieces and fun strategy. Especially loved the way the rule book is written to go step by step whilst playing. Made it heaps easier to play for the first time. Super flexible as can play solo or up to five players. Again, so thoughtful all around. Can't wait to play again.

Fantastic game even if you're not a gamer or a stripper

This game is incredible. My gamer friends respect how well crafted and balanced the gameplay is, and my stripper friends adore the nuance of the writing and design. Both of these friends are extremely critical and reserve this high praise for those that truly deserve it, and Nightshift wins in every direction. I am neither gamer nor stripper but this is the only board game I have learned to play in the last decade or so, and I found it easy to learn (which is a huge deal for me). I guess now I'm going to become one of those "game night" lesbians. I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you, Exotic Cancer.
