Grease Monkey Garage

Okay, yes, we are going a little print-and-play crazy these days... But we recently discovered lists of these free games that are available, so we are trying the ones that look the most interesting!

Grease Monkey Garage is today's game. It's a fun and easy little worker placement game where you are trying to obtain and fix cars by using your workers to gather the supplies needed, which are listed on each vehicle's card.

It's not easy, because when the pile of cards is used up, the game ends after one more round. And the pile of cards is not a big one!

We think it is more fun to play it with other people than solo. in Solo, the game goes by so quickly and you feel like you don't get enough done. You just need one or two more turns. Plus, there isn't really an opponent to beat, you just have to keep trying to beat your high score. I prefer mechanics in solo play that are more like the opponent in Tiny Epic Galaxies or Mint Works, where you have someone working against you.

One of the downsides of print and plays is that sometimes the people creating them are not very responsive, plus there are usually a ton of typos (which are of course not exclusive to unprinted rule books). Did I mention that as a side business I am a proofreader? 🤣 I need to get involved in some of these rule books...

The graphics are great and it's just a really quick game. We need to get our friends together for a quick game day and play about 20 games in a couple of hours 😄
