Topside Games Wanna Hocka Lugie

Follow in the footsteps of the ancient Hawaiians in Wanna Hocka Lugie, the trading game inspired by the legend of Ka'ao. Players head to the Hawaiian marketplace in a race to fill their baskets. Each player controls two pawns - one that can trade goods and one that can steal goods from the baskets of other players. There's a delicate balance as players map out their acquisition strategy - trade or steal - and all the while avoiding thievery themselves!

Players begin with a basket containing three items. By landing one's trading pawn (Tally Trader) on various items, a player can trade up for more valuable goods, stepping up the value of the items in his basket. Maneuvering one's stealing pawn (Shifty Shorty) onto the same space as an opponent's trader gives him the opportunity to shortcut the whole system and pick up valuable goods the "easy" way. Trade and steal. Steal and trade. Twists, turns, and a little bit of luck keep it close until the end. Who will return triumphantly from the market as the Big Kahuna?
