User summary: In Japan, a "black kigyou" (literally means "black company") is like a sweatshop company. When a company exploits its employees in illegal ways, it is called a black kigyou. Karoshi (death from overwork) is one of the most tragic results caused by such a company. This game is a roll-and-move game with a theme of labor survival. Players are new employees of a "black company". When employed, they are willing to work for that company with full motivation, but their motivation will diminish soon. Each turn, the current player rolls a die and advances their pawn that number of squares around the board. Then, depending on the square that player landed on, a trouble or a disaster may happen, reducing that player's motivation (and sometimes other player's too). A player wins the game if all the other players' motivations are reduced to zero. Players' way to advance is actually a loop because there's no way out of the company. This game is a party game which is full of black humour. Publisher's summary: このゲームにおける""BLACK COMPANY""とは、過酷な労働環境で従業員を苦しめる「ブラック企業」を意味しています。「過労死」に代表される日本の黒い文化です。 このゲームは「労働サバイバルすごろく」です。 プレイヤーはブラック企業に入社してしまった従業員となり、ボードに描かれた家から会社、また会社から家へというサイクルを繰り返しながら、心と体の充実度「いきいきポイント」が少しずつ減少していきます。 最後まで「いきいきポイント」が0にならず生き残ったプレイヤーの勝利です。 ブラックユーモアを交えたパーティーゲームです。
