Aura Poku (1993)

About this game

Your people are expelled from the palace of your fathers and you must take your tribe on the difficult journey to a new village. There are three rivers to cross and you must sacrifice gold to the gods unless you go the long way round. It costs more gold to cross at the wide mouth of the river than higher up, so you may join with other players to pay the cost. But remember, it is a race to get the best huts in the new village AND to keep the most gold that wins you the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
