	Description Edit \| History

300 AD: The Polynesians embarked on daring sailing trips and explored thousands of Pacific Islands. Driven by overpopulation and a desire for adventure, they set forth into the unknown on simple catamarans called Tongiakis.

With a unique tile design never seen in any other game (hexes with wavy edges), this game is easy to explain and easy to enjoy.
