The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 238. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

    I need to have more info on the game board! The hair decoration…wow! And, the descent to the green sand beach? I’m wondering if I could make it. Your posts always make me yearn for a third trip to Hawaii. I have relatives there and perhaps an old friend, so we’ll see.

      The game board size is not fixed. Basically the bigger the board, the longer the game. It’s a traditional Hawaiian game, invented by them, with some similarities to checkers and go. However konane is a game where all the board spaces are filled at the start and then removed by the two players. The player who is unable to make a taking move is the loser. There’s more information about the game at https://www.kaahelehawaii.com/konane-a-hawaiian-board-game/. Be glad you didn’t visit Hawaii this past week. Gray skies, rain, and strong winds have shut things down and caused considerable flooding and other damage.
