Tiki Topple

Welcome to Tiki Island, where nine carved idols are fighting to be crowned top Polynesian Idol. You secretly own some of them, and your job is to nudge your tikis toward the front of the line using action cards. Tiki Up moves a tiki ahead, Tiki Topple sends a rival's tiki tumbling to the back, and the sneaky Tiki Toast knocks tikis off the board entirely. Because nobody knows which tikis belong to whom, everything you play also gives you away, so half of the game is bluffing and reading hints. Cards are short, rounds are fast, and you score by whose tikis finish on top. A 2008 card game for two to four, about twenty minutes.
