Office of Mandatory Meetings

Every week needs a pre-meeting, a planning meeting and the meeting that decides whether a meeting was needed. Book each one where everyone it needs is free, after the one before it, as early as you can, and send the info-only ones as an email.

How to play

Book. Pick a slot where everyone listed is free, after the previous meeting: +60, +40 more for the earliest.
Email. Info-only agendas can be an email: +100. Clashes end the run if they pile up.
Three levels. Beginner, Intermediate or Expert, picked before you play: the content and the clock change, and each level keeps its own best score.
Satire. Absurd and warm: every country, office, planet and form is made up, and every run ends on a real admin skill.

Quick tips

Read the agenda first. “Share the slide deck” is an email. “Agree who owns the budget” needs the people in a room.
Go early. Booking a late slot can leave no room for the next meeting in the chain.
