Totem is one of the world's easiest and quickest games to learn; as simple as 'Tic-Tac-Toe' (Tic-Tac-Totem)! —description from the rulebook Basically, this game is similar to Connect 4, except the board is round and will rotate so the players can easily see the whole playing area. The rulebook also gives unique names to the "traps" players can use in the game to set up a winning condition...such as "Steeple, Line-Ladder and Overlap." The final sentence in the rulebook description of the game says "if Tic-Tac-Toe and Chess had an offspring, it would be TOTEM!" —user summary
