Kōnane, the Hawaiian game of jumps

Why it surfaced

The site makes a nearly disappeared island game playable against a computer or in pass-and-play mode, while also explaining its history and pointing to handmade physical boards. Its rules are simple enough to learn in a minute, but the game’s cultural texture gives the implementation more weight than a typical browser diversion.

A browser-playable version of kōnane, a Hawaiian strategy game where every move jumps over and removes a stone.
