Two priests – the wielders of Kahuna magic – compete to determine which of them has greater powers. With a select group of 12 uninhabited islands, they use their magical powers to build bridges linking those islands to each other.

In Kahuna, rivals use cards strategically to place bridges between these islands or remove opponent's bridges. As soon as the majority of bridges are conquered around an island, Kahuna marker stones can be placed on that island. The player who holds the most Kahuna stones after a round will score points. It’s all about clever placement of limited cards for maximum impact. Kahuna is easy to learn and a challenge to truly master!

If you want to throw your phone on the floor, get this game
NDTrooper

Fun game, because the board game is fun. AI is unbelievable. There is only one setting: ridiculously hard. This game doesn't ease you into learning its mechanics at all. It teaches you the rules and then expects you to lose 50 times against the level one fisherman to learn everything else. Finally beat the fisherman, beat the surfer, went back to the fisherman, he destroys me completely. Where is the sense of progression? If this game wants to keep the player coming back, I should at least be able to beat the fisherman consistently if I can beat the surfer. As such, I don't think the game was designed that way. I think the single player campaign is secretly you playing against the same AI no matter the AI's "level". You got a good AI. But you have a terrible single player campaign.


Fun strategy game from the past
Loganeer

Simple rules but engaging. Nice presentation and atmosphere. Solid.


No local Multiplayer!!!
glipzcom

I can't even comprehend how there is no local multiplayer? Pass and play is the bots basic concept for a board game digital version. I bought this hoping to have something to play with my wife on the plane. We love this game and play the physical game all the time. We play Ticket to Ride as a pass and play when traveling and was really expecting this would be another great one for us. Unacceptable!


great game but embarrasing bugs
waaayback

it's a great game - but please fix the embarassing bugs: - often hangs at end of round - single player progress is lost if you minimize - (once in twenty games) it did not score the last round properly and I lost fix the bugs and it's 5 stars.


Minimally functional
ProfessorDaddy

Graphics are only passable, interface is both ugly, with blocky letters on brown squares, and inadequate. The difficulty is atrocious, set WAY too hard for beginners on early levels, with no real tutorial. Finally, the game crashes, frequently, and can't be minimized. All in all, a disrespectful treatment.


Great but needs a fix
Crazy gta

I would like single player games to save when you back out of the app, besides that its perfect ?


Fun but need improvements
Nice guy jk

It took me 4 rounds to figure out the rule and beat the fisherman, yet once u know the rule the AI becomes so ridiculous and dumb! Way too easy! Chiefs are fine though. However the game keeps crashing when I'm about to win! Umm avoid lose uh? Anyway, u need to modify its eval function to make it better. Provide HARDER levels! Plz! Also Plz fix multi player problems as mentioned by others.


Fix the bugs!
akabryanhall

Sick of the game crashing when I'm about to win the 3rd round. Wouldn't be as bad if the game was saved. Add ability to save as well. Easily 5 stars if these things get fixed. Super addictive.


OK, but has some bugs
Gemini Blood

I'm a pretty good kahuna player and love the game so I was very excited when this app was released. The higher level AI gives a decent challenge, but lack of pass and play option is perplexing. Also, the game has gotten hung up between rounds quit often. This is VERY annoying. I have an Ipad 3 running latest iOS so I'm not sure how this problem would sail through testing unnoticed. Get this fixed and it's a fairly goo treatment of the game. Very intuitive interface and Iike the presentation.


Very original strategy game
Ericlepreu

Enjoyed my first few games. Definitely challenging. I'm sure the few original bugs will be fixed soon. Another brilliant ipad game, after Wars of Roses.
