suggestions for board game for small work team
Posted: December 7th, 2017, 12:03 am
I want to have a short board game session with my work team, none of whom play board games (and some of whom don't speak English, so not too much reading of cards).
Flavour: a bit of trust and maybe getting a better result by working together overcoming challenges (or chance events), but possibly with the ability to stiff each other and become competitive, and bring out people's real character. I want it interesting as the team have a tendency to default to goody-goody /collaboration mode (so possibly something were individuals have slightly different goals?) They are sharp so would quickly spot an XY/Prisoner Dilemna type game and default to instant collaboration.
Based on the games I know, Diplomacy meets Monopoly
The purpose of the evening is to get below the surface of the individuals. We had an interesting evening a few months ago with an escape room/treasure hunt where the unfamiliarity of it quickly showed how the members all tended to work.
Team size is 5 (maybe 6)
Time: about 1 hour to 1.5
As I don't live in the UK realistically I have to buy it untried, so if people can echo suggestions they like left by others, that would be helpful.
thanks in advance
