This document describes The Brutal Refactoring Game workshop conducted by Peter Kofler. The workshop aims to improve code quality through pair programming and refactoring code to remove code smells. It will involve participants coding a Tic-Tac-Toe game in pairs, with Kofler acting as a "benevolent dictator" stopping work whenever a code smell is detected until it is refactored away. The session concludes with a discussion of lessons learned.
