Tahiti: Clan Warfare, Polynesia 750 AD

From 3W:

Tahiti is a game for one to four players, of clan warfare typical in Polynesia before European contact. Players build war canoes and train warriors to create a force to strike at their adversaries, while protecting their home village. The player is represented on the board as the Chieftain unit - if this unit is killed, the game is lost. If all seems hopeless, the player can quit Tahiti and lead his clan on an expedition over the high seas into the unknown.

• Each turn of the game represents two weeks of real time.
• Each hexagon on the game map spans 60 statute miles.
• Special rules for solitaire play are included

Tahiti is a quick-to-learn, fast and furious beer-and-pretzels ("okolehau and poi") game that will provide endless entertainment for the novice and the experienced game-player alike.

The Time: About 750 AD.
