Hand Made Wonders (2014)

About this game

Hand Made Wonders is a party game that combines dexterity and co-operation. Everyone wears a colored bracelet on each wrist. After the judge gives a signal, players stretch out one arm, then players form teams with the other players who stretch out an arm with a bracelet in the same color. Depending on the size of the team, the players have to form an architectural wonder by following the instructions on a card, e.g., create the Great Wall of China with a horizontal row of five hands. All players on the fastest team get a reward card for either their left or right arm, depending on what they used. The first player to collect three left and three right cards wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
