Description
In this game, players incarnate clan leaders during the Golden Age of Easter Island. The board represents a simplified map of the island. Rock platforms (ahus) are where the Moaïs (monumental sculptures) will be erected. Your clan competes against others, and you will earn more prestige by building and transporting larger, more imposing Moaïs than your opponents' clans. Each of your pawns represents a group of men. You can grow your population if you wish. You will choose each turn which part of your population will sculpt Moaïs and which other part will transport them, in cooperation with other players. Statues are transported from the quarry to the ahus using paths made of pawns and the help of logs. You can use your influence (Tribal Markers) to choose the best statues and mark to your color the statues you cannot achieve in your turn. You can also rely on your Sorcerer and his mighty powers, of the strength of your Chief, as well as on mystic powers of the Rongo writing tablets. The winner will be the one who has erected the largest statues in the best places at the end of the game.

What a game! One of the most beautifull games and this for its original theme and beautifull gamematerial .... And the game is 100% balanced (if you play with the official changed rules), I love this one, should be ranked higher ...

Me encanta este juego. La temática no es muy atrayente, pero una vez en mesa y jugando, se respira tema por todas partes. Y genialmente ilustrado! Arrastrar un moai por media isla, o dejarlo al lado de la cantera rápidamente¿?¿?. Muy recomendable!

One of my favorite boardgames! Amazing board and components for a game with a very good mechanic for pickup and deliver! Always want to play it! Better with 4 and 5 players. Works just fine with the rules for 2 players
