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.

This is a fun dexterity game that’s a lot more challenging than it appears! Everything might be going great until you have to place a girder on a strong worker.

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.

The joy in this game comes from its simplicity to teach and the way the tension rises with each precarious placement on the construction site. Some card combinations are definitely tougher than others (Strong Worker for instance!) but that just makes the challenge all the more rewarding if you can complete it. I also love seeing people push their luck to get those Worker of the Month awards from Rita when they themselves know that really they are taking a huge risk! So glad I picked up a copy of this as it's a great filler and end-of-the-night capper.
