About this game

Ugg-Tect strips language down to grunts and gestures and dares you to build something anyway. One player on each team, the Ugg-Tect, sees a secret blueprint and must guide their tribemates to recreate it out of wooden blocks using only a handful of caveman sounds and pantomimed cues, no actual words allowed. Miscommunicate and your structure ends up nothing like the plan; get it right and the rival tribe inspects your build to confirm it matches before you score. It is chaotic, physical and stupidly funny in a way few communication games manage, watching grown adults grunt and stomp their way through architecture never really gets old.
