Ugg-Tect

In Ugg-Tect, first released as Aargh!Tect, players work in teams to construct fabulous – well, let's say "functional" – structures out of materials lying around them. All the players are cavemen, however, so you have only rough blocks with which to build and you can communicate only through primitive gestures and sounds. Ugungu!

What is Ugg-Tect

In Ugg-Tect, first released as Aargh!Tect, players work in teams to construct fabulous – well, let's say "functional" – structures out of materials lying around them. All the players are cavemen, however, so you have only rough blocks with which to build and you can communicate only through primitive gestures and sounds. Ugungu!

When you're the architect on your team, you see a building plan that shows how the blocks should be placed in the finished design. To get the builders on your team to do the heavy work, you must tell them which piece to use – through gestures like stomping your feet or raising your arms above your head – and what to do with it. "Manungu" tells them to put the piece at the front of the structure, while "Manungu manungu" means to put it at the back. Moving pieces left or right, up or down, laying them down or rotating them – lots of details need to be conveyed with only a few commands and your trusty (inflatable) spiked club. When you give a command and your team performs well, tap them on the head once to show approval. Hit them twice, though, and they know they messed up and need to pay better attention. I said, "Karungu!!" (stomp stomp stomp)

The fastest – and most accurate – architect/building team will carry the day...

Un party que se juega por equipos. En cada equipo un arquitecto debe dar indicaciones a sus trabajadores para que lleven a cabo una construcción conforme a una tarjeta que sólo el arquitecto puede ver. La gracia es que las instrucciones se dan en "lenguaje troglodita". Además, el arquitecto dispone de un garrote con el que golpear a los trabajadores para indicar si han interpretado sus instrucciones correctamente o no. Es un juego divertido de jugar, e igual o más divertido de ver jugar. Sin pretensiones y para pasar el rato. Eso sí, puede dar vergüenza jugarlo en lugares públicos. :)

Un juego demasiado simple, salvo la "gracia" de aporrear a tu compañero (aunque al cabo de 10 minutos también cansa). El estilo de juego de hacerlo por parejas pero cada una por separado, no me resultó nada atractivo
