IKEA WARS is a high-octane comedy game show pitting two comedians against each other in the ultimate home improvement indignity: building IKEA furniture in front of a live audience.
The challenge is simple: build the piece of furniture before your opponent does. Is it a race? Yes! Is it a game show? ALSO YES! A plethora of chaotic sabotages are on hand to ensure that the road to glory is paved with pitfalls!

Build the furniture. 
Survive the sabotages. 
Be crowned the Champion of Sweden!*
