Osvalaisten Yhteispeli társasjáték

Angol leírás

Welcome to Oy Saab-Valmet Ab at Uusikaupunki, Finland in 1986, producing the legendary Saab 900! You and your fellow players are workers at the auto manufacturing plant, following the journey of a brand-new vehicle being born; from Materials Delivery to Body Welding Shop to Paint Shop to Assembly to Finishing and finally, Accepted for Delivery. Event cards will help or hinder you on the way, and the pesky conveyor belts from welding to painting and painting to assembly need to be traversed somehow. But, if you're lucky in the beginning you may be able to purchase some of the three Help cards (Productivity, Disruptionless, and Quality) which will occasionally force other players to help you forward. May the best and most quality-oriented 'osvan' win!

This promotional game was published by Saab-Valmet probably as a limited run gift to employees, business contacts and so on. Judging by the box size and style this was most probably printed at Paletti. This game brands itself as 'cooperative' with slogans such as 'Cooperation is strength!' printed on the box side; however there is no co-op element as such in the game and even the few Help cards merely force other players to involuntarily push the card owner forward when hitting a certain space; all in all, it's a fairly basic competitive roll-and-move.

The name of the game refers to the nickname of the plant, OSVA (an abbreviation of Oy Saab-Valmet Ab) and the employees working there ('osvalaiset'); thus, 'Cooperation game of the Osvans'
