The Construction Game 1.2.140429

The Construction Game, reminiscent of the classic Monopoly board game, offers players an engaging experience in the realm of heavy equipment and business transactions. Players get the opportunity to bid on projects, acquire various equipment such as dozers, backhoes, excavators, and scrapers, and set them into action to expand their construction empire. Success in this game requires strategic decision-making and financial acumen, as there are no handouts available on the construction site. The objective is to become the top contractor in the valley.

The Construction Game Story

In 1992, Dave Zimmerman, a civil engineer specializing in earthwork estimates for construction contractors, stumbled upon The Farming Game. Impressed by the business gaming model of The Farming Game, Dave reached out to the inventor, George Rohrbacher, seeking permission to adapt the concept for the construction industry. After negotiations, The Construction Game was born in 1993, receiving acclaim worldwide and overwhelming orders during its debut Christmas season.

Subsequently, George Rohrbacher's game company, The Weekend Farmer Co., took ownership of The Construction Game. Under George and Ann Rohrbacher’s meticulous attention to detail, the game underwent a process akin to restoring a classic automobile. Stripping it down to its core elements and rebuilding it meticulously resulted in a stellar gaming experience. While sharing similarities with The Farming Game, The Construction Game stands out as a unique and enjoyable endeavor - promising laughter and excitement.

George and Ann have truly crafted a gem that is bound to captivate players with its charm and quality.
