Fun new game!

While out the other day I went in to a store that I don't usually visit, just killing a few minutes before our next activity. We found the game isle and I was surprised to see a whole row of games, many I hadn't heard of before, for really great prices! While looking through them I ran across the game "Rumis" After reading about it I was really excited as it fits perfectly with what we are learning about this year! We opened it up for family game night and all really enjoyed it!


Inspired by the architecture of the Inca, Rumis (meaning "stones") sharpens spatial awareness and critical thinking skills as players strategize to outwit their opponents while reconstructing historical Inca monuments of a pyramid, tower, stairs, lodging, corner, and wall.

Each player receives 11 Rumis stones of one color. Players begin constructing the building one stone at a time, strategically placing their stones to prevent opponents from having the most visible colored stones. The player with the most stones visible from above wins!
