Pretzel Games | Men at Work | Family Game | Ages 8+ | 30-45 Minutes Playing Time

Product Information

What shouldn’t surprise anyone who is familiar with Pretzel Games is that the components are excellent. When you reveal the foreman(woman) card, a new rule is introduced, and any player taking the highest point on the building site, during their turn, receives an employee of the month award. If you ever played something like Rhino Hero, or built a house of cards, and enjoy creating these teetering erections, you’re really going to like Men At Work. When a hot man is lying in a narrow passageway, do you pluck him out with your fingertips, or drag him out with the hook and hope he doesn’t snag and cause further damage?

This is a really lovely dexterity game with beautiful wooden components, a great box with preformed insert, and lots of replayability.

The next player will then use the rescue hook to remove any debris from the site before continuing their turn.The game state is also prone to being ruined easier than most other games, as a bump of the table can be enough to send everyone’s work tumbling down. Since nothing but the supports can touch the table any girders with one end touching the table must be pushed back on to the structure. Since it’s more rules-heavy than you might expect for a stacking game, you’ll probably find yourself checking the rulebook quite often for minor clarifications.
