Description
English: Jordan Suapaia, 6, plays a game he describes as Hawaiian checkers, or Konane. It is a game of strategy similar to checkers and widely believed by historians to be a game that was used as a tool to instruct warriors. The object of the game is not so much to take your opponents papumu, or gamestones, than it is to isolate your opponents papumu and prevent your opponent from being able to make a move.
