About the game
Come and meet Tim, Al, Wilson and all the rest of the gang. You're the pro with all the stuff to get the job done. This game is based on the popular TV sitcom Home Improvement. You are a do-it-yourselfer that gets inspired by various sources to do projects around your house. The board, consisting of an outer ring of stores and other spaces, and an inner ring with all the rooms of your house. Cards representing each project are drawn. Each card has a list of supplies and tools you need for the job, and what stores to buy them from. Players then travel around the outer ring buying the things they need, and marking them off of the project cards. When the player has one or more project cards filled they can move into the inner ring and go to the room the project is for. A rating card is drawn (1-4) and a description of the project is read. The back of the project card contains four different outcomes for the project ranging from spectacular to horrible, these match the rating card and instruct the player what benefit they get from their project. Each project can add equity to your house. The first player to increase the equity of their house by $50,000 wins the game. This is a fun lighthearted look at home improvements. You don't have to even pick up a hammer to feel like a pro!

The listed playing time for Home Improvement is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Home Improvement for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Home Improvement has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
