What this is
In Bora Bora, players lead the men and women of their tribe to expand and thrive in an island paradise. Each player rolls three dice at the start of the round, then they take turns placing one die at a time on one action. Three task tiles on a player's individual game board provide some direction as to what he might want to do, while god tiles allow for special actions and rule-breaking, as gods are wont to do.
