Tu Kohatu is a traditional Maori competition played by stacking stones as high as possible on beaches, near rivers or other places with rocks.  Totika Kohatu is a tabletop wood rock stacking game that will determine, once and for all, who has the steadiest hand and nerves of steel. Knock the stack over on your turn and lose that round of play.  Win a round by successfully stacking the 16th stone.  Sounds easy until everyone realizes stacking all 16 stones is nearly impossible but believe us, it’s possible.  Don’t give up. Keep practicing and build your skills.  With virutally zero set-up time and each round of play taking 3-5 minutes this game strengthens fine motor, visual-spatial and logical thinking skills for ages 4 to Adult.
Totika Kohatu means “well-balanced stones, gems or rocks.” To play, take turns rolling and stacking a stone of the rolled color until someone loses the round by knocking over the stack or someone wins by stacking the last stone.
