About the game

Roll the dice and draw the symbols for the different Māori tribes on your sheet. Place the symbols on your sheet so they connect totems with each other; create groups with three symbols to score (bonus) points. Ka Pai is a quick game with no turns. Everyone must draw the symbols from the rolled dice. Will you be able to complete your sheet in such way that you score the most points? —description from the publisher
