Kachina
Published 2009
In the mythology of the Hopi Native American tribe, the world is ruled by kachinas (or spirits) of many different types. Children of the tribe learn about these different spirits through the use of kachina dolls. To illustrate the tension of different spirits in the world, the tribe elders created this game of kachinas vying for dominance. Will the Eagle soar above the Black Ogre? Will the Clown mock the Chief to nothingness? Or maybe the Sun god will outshine all in its radiance? In Kachina, you want to be the player who scores the most points by dominating other kachinas.
