Who it's for

You like dexterity games where the tension builds slowly. Good with three or four players and steady hands.

Not for you if…

You want strategy or a quick game. Forty-five minutes of careful stacking can feel long if you dislike shaky towers.

Vibe's take

Quiet, shaky and funny: everyone holds their breath as the tower creaks. The laughter bursts out when something finally slips.

About this game

Men at Work is a stacking and balancing game on a construction site. You are a worker adding to a growing tower, and steel girders rise ever higher while the only protection is a hardhat. The tower could collapse at any time, so nobody wants to be the person who causes the accident. Impress Rita the boss and you might be named Employee of the Month. The box includes three game modules for variety and wooden components in a well-designed insert. Two to five players, about forty-five minutes, from eight. A dexterity game that gets sweaty palms going at the table.
