Product Description

The classic international award-winning The Farming Game has been adapted to fit a new industry- construction! Instead of making a living with fruit orchards, wheat, and cattle, players in The Construction Game go to work with backhoes, dozers, and graders. Although many of the business principles are the same, The Construction Game, is no clone; it's a great game in its own right! Adapted from the Farming Game by a construction engineer, this game gives players a first-hand try at the millions to be made in the hard-nosed world of dozer operators and construction bosses. The Construction Game teaches the gut-wrenching risks and rewards of the business. Players buy dozers, backhoes, excavators, and scrapers and put them to work. You can bid on jobs and purchase trucks, a sand and gravel operation, or a paving plant. Build your company slowly, or borrow your way into the big time, where a roll of the dice can bring you financial independence... or send you to the auction yard! Game Includes: $5,00,00 in construction cash, $20,000,000 in equipment and property, Plenty of I.O.U's; For 2 to 6 players ages 10 and up.

Customer Reviews

What a great game!
I'd have to say, that this game in my opinion is one of the best ones I have played. It has a lot of money swapping... stressful dice rolls which make you or break you along with positions on the board that make you go head to head with other players. I have had it for a couple months and have played it multiple times. It is similar to Monopoly but ... isn't.

great game for family fun!
My 13 year old son had been begging for this game, but we could not find it in stores. Found it on Amazon and got it in time for Christmas, and the whole family loves it! It is similiar to The Farming Game, with 'real-life' scenarios that make you think. Better than computer games that do all the brain-work for you.

Better than the Farming Game!
Truly a fun game! My family and I could not stop playing it. We have always enjoyed the Farming Game which was the inspiration for this game. The Construction Game utilizes essentially the same structure as the Farming Game but adds some fun rules which take some of the arbitrary catastrophes out and increases the element of risk taking. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys group strategy games (I am not sure that is an official genre, but there you have it).
