Moluku is a trick-taking game unlike any other.
At the end of each trick, players each take
one card from the trick and place it on their island (place it
in front of them). The player who played the highest
card chooses first, and so on.
At the end of the round, when all the tricks have been
played, each player scores the points for their island.
Each player then takes back the cards from
their island: they will only use these cards for the
next round! The game is played over 3 rounds.
So what to do? Focus on the high cards, which
will win tricks in the next round, or the
lower cards—rice, pineapples, fish, and houses—whose
quantity and combinations are worth points immediately?
Masks, Volcanoes, and even the Fisherman
can also increase your score. And the Chief
or the Chameleon will save you from trouble.
It's up to you to find the right balance to bring happiness to your island!
