Introduction
This year the Massai celebrate the beginning of the rainy season with a big party. The best architects in the two neighboring villages show up at the dry river bed and will try to join the two towns together with a series of huts.. The first who manages to do so will become the architect of the year.

Each player receives 15 huts of his/her color, 4 yellow pawns used as guards in order to protect some of the huts. and 1 red pawn and 1 tactic sheet which contains the plan for the game seen from either side of the board. Each player secretly sets up his huts on a tactic sheet. Once both players have done this the tactic sheets are exposed and then the huts are transferred from the tactic sheet to the board.

Each player has two possible moves on his turn. He may either build a new hut or he may attack an opponent's hut.

In order to win an architect must establish an uninterrupted chain of 6 huts between the 2 dry river beds or an architect can also win if his opponent has no huts on the game board.

This game is part of the Abacus wood box series.
