About the game

What is Rapa Nui (2011)?

Translated game description from the publisher: Plunge into a mysterious culture at the other end of the world - Rapa Nui, Easter Island! Become a powerful tribal chief and decide which valuable tribe members will next serve your village: loggers, priests or hunters and gatherers? Or would you rather erect an impressive stone statue more valuable than anything else? The game system is refined and novel: Take one card from the general display and reveal the card lying underneath – which could be disastrous for all! Only those who make the right decisions and win a little favor from the gods will lead his tribe to eternal glory.
