Totem Land (2007)

About this game

You are the chosen leader of one of up to four clans that have converged on Totem land. Your charge: to build Totem poles along with other competing clans, using your allocated 8 precious totems. Each totem has a unique value on it. The goal is to finish the game with as many of your most valuable totem pieces on top of the totem poles as possible - ideally, with a totem built only with your own pieces.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
