I'm going to preface this with: I do not own nor have I played the board game! But I'm very familiar with the original video game. I recall there being complaint from a subset of people that the video was very light, with little to do.

With that in mind, I've heard similar 'complaints' about the board game. But the reason I'm hearing this is because the board game is a hilariously accurate representation of the original. It's very light (hence the Speil de Jahre win), but if you're looking for a co-operative version of the game, I think this will be a winner!
