From the Singapore-MIT Gambit Game Lab website: “Tipping Point is a cooperative puzzle game for up to four players. Players assume the roles of Project Managers, and must work together to complete projects before they go too far past their deadline. The game is won by completing a set number of projects without letting any project fail.”
This game is not only fun… it’s a great way for players to learn to think and strategize and become better project managers and team members.
