A new video game allows those who have never assembled IKEA furniture (or even those who have but can't get enough) to experience the inherent frustration of it.

The video game is called Höme Improvisåtion and is free for both Mac and PC.

The game maker describes the fun:

The world's most fun & accurate cooperative furniture assembly experience! There was a problem printing the instruction manuals so you will have to figure out how the furniture goes together. Just snap the pegs into the holes; it's that simple! Make sure to invite some friends over and make the beautiful furniture of your dreams! Or labor alone and slowly descend into madness!

Users say the game so closely replicates the experience of assembling IKEA's "ready-to-assemble" furniture that users vow to never play the game again.

Up to four people can play Höme Improvisåtion at one time, allowing another way for friends and family more excuses to point out flaws in one another's plans and actions.

You can play the game online here.
