Fantasy Flight Announces Ugg-Tect, a Board Game of Prehistoric Architecture
Prepare to club your tribemates to architectural domination! Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Ugg-Tect, a game of monumental fun in which up to eight cavemen race to build prehistoric monuments, armed with nothing but a simple 
language of grunts and gestures, a few wooden blocks, and a trusty club.
Two teams must compete to construct simple monuments out of wooden blocks... but only their leader, the ingenious ugg-tect, can see the plans. Without showing his secret Project card to his tribemates, the ugg-tect must instruct his team, guiding them as they recreate the project using wooden blocks. Adding to the challenge, the paleolithic language barrier is an ever-present obstacle; an ugg-tect and his tribemates may only communicate with a limited vocabulary of grunts and gestures, along with a few “corrective” taps of an inflatable club!
Build a structure for the ages
If your tribe can stop laughing long enough to build the monument shown on the ugg-tect’s Project card, you’ll score points based on the difficulty of that structure. But if the other team judges your work to be seriously flawed (based on a few simple criteria), you must destroy your monument and accept a negative point to your final score. Play continues until one team accumulates ten or more points, after which the winning team’s ugg-tect is encouraged to beat his chest, swing his club, and chant “Ugg-tect! Ugg-tect!”
With some solid leadership skills, a bit of luck, and a healthy willingness to look utterly silly in front of your friends, you’ll accurately recreate mankind�s earliest architectural endeavors... more or less.
Can you complete the most monuments before your rivals? Keep checking back for more on Ugg-Tect, and in the third quarter of 2012, guide your tribe to prehistoric prominence!
