In Raiatea, the players play as Arioi, members of a secret Polynesian religious order. During a game, the Arioi build colossal To'o statues in order to obtain the favors of their god Oro. During the action phases, players take turns taking the group to different locations. During the ceremony phases, players ask the help of the deities to build giant To'o. Construction may fail without the help of the gods, so players must carefully prepare their Rituals and know exactly how much mana to offer to achieve their goal.
At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points is named the new High Priest!
