From BoardGameGeek

TOTEMO - A colourful, 3D building game for Braves, Squaws and Papooses from Surprised Stare Games (Summer, 2010) Players place custom-designed blocks into a restricted playing area to construct Totem Poles, for which they score victory points. Blocks must be placed according to their colour, and the colours of the blocks they may touch in three dimensions - for example, a purple block may be placed on its own OR adjacent to purple, red or blue blocks. The more blocks it touches, the higher your score for placing. Bonus placements (and scoring) are possible if you land exactly on special spaces on the score track (these spaces are randomly determined at the start of the game). Totemo is bright, colourful, tactile and heap big fun! (Source: Surprised Stare Games Ltd)
