Dilbert: The Board Game (2006)

About this game

From the Publisher's Website at http://www.hyperion-games.com/dil01.html ** "The Dilbert Principle: The most ineffective workers are systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage: management. Welcome to the absurdities of the business world: a place of rightsizing, vision statements, bungee bosses, peer reviews, total quality management and team-building exercises; a place where millennia of evolution is put to use in the struggle for the best cubicle and competition over office furniture. In Dilbert™ the Board Game you and up to five friends toil in an office of evil HR directors, accounting trolls, canine consultants, and a boss who bears a suspicious resemblance to the devil. Every project assigned to you is doomed from the start, so your best bet is to dump it on someone else or try to get it killed before it eats away any more of your life. In fact, the only thing that really matters in the end is your own happiness. So why bother with work? Dilbert™ is a hilarious board game for 3-6 players ages 14 and up, and requires about 90 minutes to play. "

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
