Rukshuk (2006)

About this game

Players race against the clock to build different Rukshuk rock formations and score as many points as they can. Game cards reveal different Rukshuk formations, bonus points and rules. Skill, luck and strategy determine who scores the most points and wins! How to play: Each player selects seven game rocks from the pouch. Game rocks are worth different points based on their ‘stack-ability’. Players score regular and bonus points by using the rocks to build all or part of the Rukshuk formation shown on the game card in 60 seconds or less. If a player’s Rukshuk formation topples before time expires, he must quickly rebuild it. When time runs out, players use the score pad to tally the points from their formations. Once scores are counted the players select new rocks, turn over the next card and build a new Rukshuk Re-implemented by: Rukshuk: Edition 2

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
