Fiji*

In 1777, European visitors arrive in Fiji to trade with the locals, who possess coveted shrunken head treasures. Players offer colorful glass beads in a complex KAWA ritual to determine whose trade is most promising. They compete across four rounds, aiming to have the most or least beads of each color and navigating condition and effect cards that influence the outcome. High-quality components, including appealing beads and thematic cards, enhance the auction-style gameplay where tactical reasoning and guessing are essential for victory.
