## Description
Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you're into spatial and strategic challenges, Rumis+ might be just what you're looking for. Released in 2006, this title is an interesting hybrid: it functions both as a robust expansion for Blokus 3D, allowing for games with up to six players, and as a complete standalone game for two. In other words, flexibility is the name of the game here. This edition includes six new boards and brand new pieces in orange and purple, adding more depth and strategic options to your sessions. Keeping the 2006 graphic style, the pieces in this version, from the Swiss publisher, are made of wood, but are the same size as the plastic US edition from Educational Insights. This ensures smooth compatibility if you already own Blokus 3D and want to expand the experience, or simply a more premium feel if this is your first foray into the Rumis universe. At the heart of the game is the enclosure mechanic, where the goal is to position your three-dimensional pieces to dominate the board, surrounding and isolating your opponents' spaces. It's a spatial puzzle that requires foresight and good planning for each move. Ready to surround your friends (in a good way, of course)?

A game of Rumis+ usually lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. It's an ideal time for a quick strategy session that still makes you think a lot!
