From the publisher: This fun, educational, game teaches about the Hawaiian culture and the strength of the family, as well as the dangers of living on a volcanic island. Throughout the game, Hawaiian words are followed by the pronunciation and the definition of each word in parenthesis to assist the players in learning about the Hawaiian culture. (Additional notes regarding the pronunciation of Hawaiian words are provided at the end of the game book.) Each player has a 4-member 'ohana (oh-hah-na) (family) that they move around the board. Along the way, players gain mana (mah-nah) (spiritual energy) by doing good deeds to spread aloha (ah-loh-ha) (love), encountering cultural and geological sites, and answering questions about Hawai'i. When two members of the same family meet on a space, they form a Family Bond which no player can pass unless they have enough mana (mah-nah) (spiritual energy). If a player has enough mana (mah-nah) (spiritual energy), they can also capture other players and send them back to Start. However, there are many environmental hazards which will keep players from reaching the top of the volcano. Therefore, players must be very careful not to collect too many kapu (kah-poo) (danger) cards!. Good luck and mahalo (mah-hah-lo) (thank you) for spreading lots of aloha (ah-lo-ha) (love)!
