Players accumulate MANA, the harmonious life force of the Maori, by laying out images in front of themselves and their fellow players. Each player strives for an extensive personal display. However, those who pass cards to their opponents are also rewarded with MANA. This reward is particularly significant when the number of cards laid out approaches the maximum of 6 per image motif. The MANA earned can be reused by players to acquire additional cards even faster. This way, the card displays of all players quickly fill up again, leading to a rich MANA reward. Since a player's own display is off-limits for card motifs that are already laid out there—and since motifs cannot be played in opponents' displays if they are not already present—it's crucial to have the most suitable cards in hand at the right time. The player with the largest personal card display and the most MANA at the end wins the game. This particularly catchy and clever card game was invented by Peter Jürgensen. It was beautifully designed in an authentic Maori style by illustrator Matthias Holländer.
