What is Balance and How Does it Work?

The Hawaiian expansion set adds Balance to the game.

Each Hawaiian Creature is aligned with one of two types of Balance: Noa or Kapu.

The game starts with Noa and Kapu equal. When Summoned, they will give 1 point of Balance towards their alignment. Balance cannot exceed 5.


At the end of the game, Creatures with aligned Balance are worth Honor equal to Balance's value. Creatures with unaligned Balance are worth -1 Honor.

In addition to providing Balance, each Creature has additional abilities when Summoned.

Hawaiian Creature's Reserves alternate Noa and Kapu, starting randomly with either of the two.
