Who it's for

You and your group enjoy hands-on building games and want a cooperative dexterity challenge that rewards calm, steady teamwork.

Not for you if…

Shaky hands or a wobbly table stress you out, or you would rather plan silently than build under time pressure.

About this game

Menara puts a wobbling temple in the middle of the table and dares your whole group to keep it standing. Together you place oddly shaped pillars and floor pieces, racing against a sand timer while a strict rulebook decides where each piece may go. Slip up and you do not start over, you add another floor on top of your mistake, so the tower only gets taller and shakier from here. Steady hands, calm nerves and quick teamwork keep the temple climbing toward the ceiling. A satisfying blend of real building and cooperative pressure, with a lovely melt-in-your-hands quality to every piece you place.
