Players play the role of roommates living together in a single multi-room apartment or other dwelling.

At the start of the game, each player is dealt a Job card which lists free time, income, a special ability and a Slack goal.

In 2010, all three sets were combined into the re-released Chez Geek--House Party Edition, which featured a larger box, cards with reworked art backgrounds, a six-sided die and cardboard "Slack Tokens" for use in the game.

In 2000, Chez Geek won the Origins Award for Best Traditional Card Game of 1999[3] and in 2003 the spinoff Chez Greek won Best Graphic Representation of a Card Game Product 2002.
