About the game
Ship Show A Cooperative game! Group it, guess it, ship it! Work together to organize objects in your warehouse, take in customer orders, and ship them out correctly! In Ship Show, players work together as Everything, Inc. employees to group and guess Product Tiles inside a busy warehouse. Everyone has a role in this game of shipping mayhem, where cooperation is key if employees want to keep things running ship shape! Working as either a Stocker or Shipper, employees will locate and ship out Customer Orders by successfully guessing how different Product Tiles have been grouped together. Enough correct orders can earn you equipment upgrades to assist you during your shifts, but be careful! Too many Customer Returns can shut down the Warehouse for the day, and upset the Higher Ups. Get through the Sales Quarter with minimal mistakes and you'll be climbing that corporate ladder in no time! With 300 Product Tiles to organize, and multiple levels of difficulty, this game of grouping, guessing and shipping is the most fun you’ll have at work all week!
