Men at Work
Higher and higher, the construction grows. Before long, the steel girders reach dizzying heights. Fearlessly, the workers carry on, with nothing more than hardhats to protect them. The danger of collapse hangs over everything — so just make sure that nothing happens! You also have to impress Rita, the boss, if you want to be Employee of the Month. There’s a lot to do, so let’s get going!
Men At Work is a stacking and balancing game in which players compete as workers on a job site who are carefully constructing a tower to avoid accidents and, maybe, earn Employee of the Month. The game includes three gaming modules to add loads of replayability, as well as wooden components housed within a well-designed insert for easy set up.

Essen 2018 - my plays say 2 but I suspect I've played this closer to 20. Have bought to last three family cons and its always a hit with adults and children. Especially adults after a few drinks. One of the best of the dexterity games and super components.

A dexterity game in which a card draw sets your challenge for the turn. It will involve placing a girder or a worker, but with conditions to make placement trickier, such as balancing bricks and beams on the worker's shoulders or placing your girder so that it touches another of a certain colour. Worker of the month awards that are won for placing the highest piece on the construction incentivise daring play. There is also plenty of scope to make the construction more precarious. Lose one of three lives if anything falls off on your turn. I enjoy balancing games and this is a good one. The wooden components look great and are well made.

Ordered CSI.. 2/7/19 Jenga.... Tournament of Towers.... Bandu..... {YAWN}..... Men at Work.... Wait, what? A stacking game with amazing components, fun theme, and exciting objectives.... Count me in. While I'm not super big on dexterity games Men at Work's theme was just to hard to resisit. Well done.
