Product Description
The exciting game of three-dimentional strategy!Grades 1 and up. Therell be no stone left unturned in this challenging strategy game. Inspired by Incan architecture, RUMIS (meaning stones) sharpens spatial awareness and critical thinking skills as players strategize to outwit their opponents while reconstructing historical Incan structures (pyramid, tower, stairs, and wall). Each player receives eleven Rumis stones of one color. Players begin, 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! Rumis comes with four beautifully designed game boards, a unique custom turntable, 44 wooden Rumis stones, and instructions for variations on the game, including a habit-forming version of solitaire.

I saw this game on a list of top 10 games and thought I'd give it try. It turn out to be perfect for my family. The rules are simple and straight forward, but there are so many different strategies that the game really keeps everyone's interest. The game can be reconfigured, which leads to entirely different strategies. If you get bored for some reason, you make your own configuration (i.e., design your own board).
Rumis is really exciting because every move has consequences. For at least one configuration (the Steps), we discovered that you can be trapped and lose on your first move! On that occasion, two players trapped the first three to go and they went on to play each other to the end. This of course never happened again!
Rumis is just as fun with two, three, or four players. The games are short (<1/2 hour), unlike most of the other games my family likes, which are considerably more complex and often require a time commitment of 4-6 hours, so Rumis can be played without losing a big chunk of the weekend. On the other hand, it is a bit addictive and we occasionally find ourselves playing for hours anyway.

This game is an instant classic as far as I'm concerned. Feels like a combination of chess and tetris. It is equally fun with 2, 3, or 4 players. The games don't take too long to complete. Despite having no element of chance, each game seems to turn out quite differently. Setup and clean-up are both fast. Little space is required to play compared to most board games. The different boards help provide some additional variety, although this would still be a great game with one board. My wife's favorite game, highly recommended.

I enjoyed the game, although I can only give it a 4 because the element of action simply is not there there. Yes it is fun. Yes it is interesting to watch the various ruins being built, yes it is not exciting. BUT that does not mean it is not a good game! It is rather calming, like watching clouds roll across the sky or water moving along a stream. If you enjoy a game that makes you feel good and calms you this is the one for you. Light a candle, have a cool drink and enjoy the relaxing time.

Gave this to my daughter...we all played it...was easy to follow...the only negative I have for the game is that the pieces slide around a bit. But fun.

Great game, poor workmanship
I love the game itself; it's conceptually similar to a 3D version of Blokus. Anyone who likes spatial puzzles will like it. Read more
