Java board game

Java board game is a German-style board game which provides the atmosphere of the island of Java on a hexagonal board. Players build the island and score by setting up palace festivals at opportune moments. When players run out of hexagons to build the island, the game is over and a final scoring phase takes place and a winner is declared. Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling codesigned the game and it was published simultaneously in Germany by Ravensburger and in the United States by Rio Grande Games in 2000. It won the Deutscher SpielePreis 9th place 2001 and the Games Magazine Best Advanced Strategy Game 2002.
