Move your "ele" & "kea" on the "papamu", making "holos" in order to "ai" and, hopefully, not "make". OK, in English, that is Hawaiian terms for the dark and light pieces, gameboard, jumps, win and lose. "Konane", the Hawaiian version of Checkers, is definitely a little different than what you may be used to but interesting, nonetheless.

Game components include (for version shown) : wood Gameboard (handcrafted Hawaiian Koa wood), Beach Stone Men playing pieces, Coral Men playing pieces & instructions. Game does not list number of playing pieces but about 30 to 40 of each is needed. These were Beach Stones and Coral from Hawaii.

Two players. Made by Anekona Hawaii (no date listed - estimate late 1960s or 1970s).

Additional info: Try this website for more information, including how to play the game.

Anekona Hawaii sold many products throughout the 1960s and 1970s, all having some link to Hawaii. I am not sure when they may have gone out of business (or even if they went out of business). If you have more information, please contact me at .
