在这个游戏中，玩家在复活节岛的黄金时代化身部落首领。该委员会代表了一个简化的岛屿地图。岩石平台(ahus)将会在那里竖立起莫阿斯(不朽的雕塑)。

你的家族与他人竞争，你将通过建造和运输更大、更壮观的moas来赢得更多的声望，而不是你的对手的氏族。

你的每一个棋子都代表一群人。如果你愿意，你可以增加你的人口。你将会选择你的每一个人，你的一部分人将会雕刻moas，而另一部分将会与其他玩家合作。

雕像从采石场被运送到ahus(岩石平台)，使用的是用兵卒和原木的帮助。

你可以利用你的影响力(部落标记)来选择最好的雕像，然后用你的颜色来标记你无法完成的雕像。你也可以依靠你的巫师和他强大的力量，你的酋长的力量，以及隆戈的神秘力量。

获胜者将是在比赛结束时在最好的地方竖立起最大的雕像的那个人。

请注意，这款游戏有一个官方规则的改变:对于最终的得分，完整的Rongo平板电脑不再得分，也不会为玩家赢得任何积分。

In this game, players incarnate clan leaders during the Golden Age of Easter Island. The board represents a simplified map of the island. Rock platforms (ahus) are where the Moaïs (monumental sculptures) will be erected.

Your clan competes against others, and you will earn more prestige by building and transporting larger, more imposing Moaïs than your opponents' clans.

Each of your pawns represents a group of men. You can grow your population if you wish. You will choose each turn which part of your population will sculpt Moaïs and which other part will transport them, in cooperation with other players.

Statues are transported from the quarry to the ahus (the rock platforms) using paths made of pawns and the help of logs.

You can use your influence (Tribal Markers) to choose the best statues and mark to your color the statues you cannot achieve in your turn. You can also rely on your Sorcerer and his mighty powers, of the strength of your Chief, as well as on mystic powers of the Rongo writing tablets.

The winner will be the one who has erected the largest statues in the best places at the end of the game.

Note that there is a Official Rule Change for this game : For the final scoring, complete Rongo tablets are no longer scored and do not earn any points to the players.
