Maori: Warriors of the Long White Cloud
Maori: Warriors of the Long White Cloud is a card-driven war game that puts you in charge of a complex society as you try to impose your will on your neighbors- using essentially stone-age technology. Players begin the game on the North Island of Aotearoa, in charge of only a single iwi (or tribe). Other players are scattered across the map, with the many intervening iwi still neutral in this power struggle. You must use your force of will to recruit neighboring iwi, using their people and resources to increase your power base. You begin with almost nothing, so you must train population into a fighting force, build war canoes, and expand your base by building and fortifying new villages. Should you focus on building a large land force, or building fast and flexible war canoes? You decide!
Maori: Warriors of the Long White Cloud is for gamers who want to decide for themselves how they will shape their forces to confront their opponents. However, it is not for gamers who expect to have full control over every situation. This is primitive warfare: there are no general staffs or instant communications. The cards will throw up obstacles and opportunities, and your strategy must be flexible to react to situations as they arise.
