Kingmaker

One day at lunch, our CEO announced that we should stop working for the day and take the afternoon to relax, play games, eat delicious hors d’oeuvres, and be proud of recently releasing a major update to our most popular product. Several of us played a game of Kingmaker, a board game from 1975 which is probably the most gratuitously complicated game I’ve ever played. I think most of the players found it tedious, but with its Song-of-Ice-and-Fire-esque War of the Roses theme and its classic feel, I was pretty thrilled.
