Tales are told in the Indonesian archipelago of the legendary Dalang – the "puppetmaster" – who sailed from island to island in search of the most worthy successor as ruler of the islands. In Bali, players manage four card hands, one for each of four islands, challenging opponents and moving the Dalang from one island to another at critical times in an effort to win honor and glory (and most of all victory points) in an effort to become the next ruler.
