Setup: Players choose who will play the odd-numbered statues and who will play the even-numbered statues. The game begins with the game board (Easter Island) completely empty. Statues are played in sequential order, so the player with the odd-numbered statues places statues number 1 anywhere on the island in one of the holes. N ext, the player with even-numbered statues places the number 2 statue.P layers continue to alternate turns placing their statues - number 3, then 4, and so on to number 8. Once statue number 8 is placed, if there is not already a winner, players continue to alternate turns starting from number 1 through 8, sequentially moving each statue into a new location on the island. Play continues in this pattern until one player is able to line up their four Moai statues with no spaces in between statues. Thats a win! When it is a statues turn to be moved, it must be moved to a different space on the island. It cannot be picked up and placed back into the same space. When lining up the statues for the win, they dont have to end up in numerical order. The dial can be used after each turn to signify which statue is to be played next.
