Kula Kula (1991)

About this game

Blatz has a robust reputation for exceptionally beautiful games, and Kula Kula is the one of their best examples. A very light game, players simply race around the track collecting shells. Serious gamers will likely be bored, but it does have beautiful bits, a lovely board and real cowrie and puka shells as playing pieces.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
