About this board game

Easter Island is a two-player board game played in about 20 minutes, casting you as one of two powerful wizards battling across the mysterious island of the same name.

According to the game’s imaginative premise, Easter Island’s enormous Moai are not simply statues. They are beam weapons, created by the wizards for a giant game in which the island itself serves as the board.

Your task is to place your statues and move them into position. Once everything is ready, call upon the power of the Sun to topple your opponent’s statues and bring the contest to its conclusion.

The setting draws on the mystery surrounding Easter Island and its giant Moai. The statues are so large and heavy that modern attempts to recreate them have been difficult, while the island’s original inhabitants left no trace beyond these imposing monuments.

In this game, that mystery becomes the foundation for a fantastical confrontation. Position your Moai, maneuver them into place, and wait for the right moment to invoke the Sun’s devastating power. With its compact two-player format and striking premise, Easter Island turns the island into the arena for a focused duel between rival wizards.
