I usually don't like area control, but this looks surprisingly good. But the thing is, with games with names like Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Martinique, Bora Bora, Tahiti, and Tobago, and now this, I think they will eventually run out of tropical island-y names to name games after :P (I know Kahuna isn't the name of an island but I wanted to point this out)
What the Hell? Where are the hand signs on the circles? They took all the class from the game. I have the German reprint and it's OK. What's the matter with America? Who was offended by the hands. In Greece an open hand is a rude gesture and still no one thought of banning them.

I love Kahuna. I'm glad it got reprinted.
"Game Type: dice rolling, tile placement"

It seems kinda like GO, simplified like "No Stress Chess."

You think we wanted them banned? It was probably just cheaper to produce a circular token than a hand. Calm down.
