I simulate one game alone before trying with my partners. I had strange feelings about this game. Two questions:

1. I felt like the first two players are the ones that can win the game, the last player has nothing to do because he stays behind from the start. When it's his turn it can be too late to earn a good position in the race. Everybody feel the same than me?

2. What can happens if the moai card appears in the first turn. You can get the 10 stones from anothe player? this is too strong, isn't it?





I feel that Easter Island is a very strange (broken?) game but it's beautiful !!!

Anybody wants to discuss with me about this game?

Player order is mitigated by the actions of the other players.

Also, player order changes each round... the start player changes.

I don't know that it's ever happened, but if it did, the other players simply should not put stones in his head until things have evened out a bit.

Alternately, you could just redeal. It's a simple fix.

All of the Blatz games had over-the-top production values & iffy rulesets. Die Oster Insel is the least problematic of them.
