Abstract

Mu Torere is a traditional board game played by the Maori people of New Zealand. It has simple rules, low complexity and has been fully analysed, but surprisingly is often described with incorrect rules in the literature. This paper compares the various known rulesets for Mu Torere to investigate which provides the most interesting game, as the first step in a more thorough analysis of this game.
