Tongiaki: Journey into the Unknown is an exploration and nautical adventure game that puts you in the shoes of a Polynesian explorer in 300 AD. You and your friends start on the island of Tonga, but overcrowding will soon force you to set sail in search of new lands. The game uniquely blends tile placement, point-to-point movement, and area influence mechanics. Each expedition is a risk: you might discover a paradise island like Tahiti or Fiji... or end up adrift at sea. The goal is to spread your tribe across valuable islands to score points, but beware: having more pawns on an island doesn't guarantee an advantage. The game has a touch of cooperation (you'll need to join forces for some expeditions) and competition (you're allowed to sabotage others to steal points). The hexagonal tiles with wavy edges are a charming touch, giving the feeling of actually sailing through unknown seas. It's easy to learn, but the strategic decisions can be deeper than they first appear.
