Rumis, meaning "stones" in the ancient language of Quechua, is a game of geometric strategy based on the amazing architecture of the Inca.  Using irregular blocks of stone in a variety of shapes and sizes, the Inca built monumental architectural marvels that have withstood the test of time. RUMIS challenges players to outbuild and outwit their opponents as they reconstruct historical Inca structures of a wall, pyramid, tower, corner, lodging and stairs.  In this game, you've got to outbuild and outsmart your opponents one block at a time.  Each players 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 colored stones visible. As each stone is placed, it must touch at least one face of the same color, but not extend beyond the building plan's height limitations.  Doesn't sound so easy, does it?  Construction is limited by the shape and height of the structure and by the number of players. The game is over when all the stones have been placed or players have no more moves.  The player with the most stones visible from above is the winner.  RUMIS has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Creative Toy Award Seal of Excellence and Teacher's Choice Award, and was honored for excellence by MENSA, the High IQ society.  This is absolutely a MUST-HAVE for anyone looking for a new, exciting strategy game that tests the limits of your brain power!
