Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Java is a German style board game designed by Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling, illustrated by Franz Vohwinkel, and published in 2000 by Ravensburger in German and by Rio Grande Games in English. Players construct the island of Java on a hexagonal board, establishing palace festivals at strategic moments to accumulate victory points, and the game concludes with final scoring once all hexagonal pieces have been placed.
