Men at Work Reviews

Read Zatu Games Reviews

Men at Work is a brilliant fun dexterity game with great wooden components that fit perfectly their designated trays within the box. This is a 2-5 player game that works well at all player counts. It’s fun for whoever plays, whether that be children and family, new, or regular gamers.
Choose the difficulty level and set-up the starting structure of three supports, three different coloured girders, and one hardhat wearing worker meeple.
All players receive their three Safety Certificates and the first play begins. What to build is decided by the back of the next card in the draw pile. A hardhat for a Worker Meeple, or a Girder for, well a girder, but be careful when constructing as any fall to the ground will result in your go finishing and more importantly you loosing a precious Safety Certificate! Lose all three and you’re out of the game!
At some point in the first half of the game the Site Manager will appear in the draw pile and from that point on, everyone needs to be aiming to place the highest part of the construction to win themselves an Employee of the Month rosette. The first to 3/4 (depending on player count) will win the game! 
Whether you like dexterity games or not, Men at Work is a lot of fun, even after players have been eliminated, as that structure is going to come crashing down at some point, it’s just a question of who will do it!

There's nothing better than a good dexterity game! And Men At Work is one of those! First up I need to tip my hard hat to the designer of the insert tray. It is so satisfying that every component not only has a place but in the bottom of each compartment it tells you how many of each go in there. Even the punchboard crane pieces have a place to lay on top of everything. Wonderful! Just make sure to keep the box flat!!! Try and store it on its side and NOPE! The component quality is fantastic! Wooden girders, supports, bricks, blanks, and workmeeple, and the yellow plastic hard hats a brill. The game play is so much fun, as you build up the structure trying to get higher than the last player to gain those winning condition "worker of the month" awards, but all the time taking extra care not to let anything or everything come crashing down, resulting in you loosing a precious Health & Safety Certificate. Loose all three of them and you are out of the game! This game is great for families and great to watch even if you're out or just in the room at the time of play. If you like family games or skilful dexterity games this is a must!
