Who can build stone statues first in Orongo? Players are part of the exciting story of the mysterious Easter Island, far from other civilizations in the midst of the harsh Pacific Ocean. During the game, players pay homage to the gods in the Orongo ceremonial grounds and with their help create the giant stone heads - Moais - that everyone now recognizes. Whoever bids most shells grabs the best building sites and the most profitable resources for the construction of the stone colossi. Orongo is an original bidding and building game with simple rules.
