Description
In Maori, players explore the islands of Polynesia. On a turn, the player moves their explorer ship, and then, optionally, may discover a tile. Once one player has filled their board everyone else gets one more turn, and then the game ends. Players now score the tiles on their display. Palms, huts, shells, and boats on the tiles influence scoring. The player with the most points wins.

Quotes (from this video)
- I'm basically playing against a ton of viewers right now and this this game kind of overwhelms my brain when I'm thinking about fighting against one person and trying to not only think about my move but what they're thinking and if they're going to counter it and now I'm playing against all your viewers so I'm a little nervous.
- It's been a while since I've want a game on watch it played.
- I'm going to reduce it to be five and it's time for us to recycle here.
- Well it's not watch it played unless Rodney makes a mistake you guys might have noticed I forgot to collect a concentration counter during my recycle step.
- Well Matt I think that's everything well Rod you know I'm going to want a rematch of this right maybe we'll just take it offline.
