There'll 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. Grades 1 and up.

Summary: Fun, even if you aren't MENSA material
Comment: This game was a last-minute Christmas purchase. We like to open a board game or a puzzle on Christmas Eve, and this was a hybrid. It is now a family favorite. I never write reviews, but I had to for this one. Rumis is a relaxing and interesting game for any age.

Summary: Ruminating on Rumis
Comment: Rumis is a creative and fulfilling gaming experience for two, three, or four players who enjoy pure strategy games. It contains elements of Tetris Blokus, so experience with either of these games might serve as an indicator of your potential enjoyment.
The game comes with several different playing cards upon which structures can be built. This provides for many possible scenarios.
I have one suggestion: instead of conforming to the height suggestions in the two-player game, have each player take two colors and alternate turns.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Different and Fun
Comment: This game where you build with stones the way the Incas did is recommended for age 8+ but has proved popular so far with age 7 to 60. Different boards, with different height limitations, vary the game and no "build" is ever the same. Each game doesn't take too long so you can easily play best of 3 or 5. Finding the right stone to fit the space, end up on top of the building (game is scored from the top), and make sure you will be in a position to play your next stone keeps the game challenging. An excellent family board game.

Summary: Awesome
Comment: My husband and I play this game. We are both in graduate school and find this game very fun and challenging. It's nice to spend time together, use our brains, and be a little competitive.

Summary: Rumis Stacks Up
Comment: 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.
