When we first tried Kupu Rorirori, we had one set. We don’t play competitively, we just work on the idea that both of us are improving our Reo as we take turns to lay a kupu down. We still start with 24 tiles, but we both use as many of those tiles up as we can - right down to the last oropuare, before we choose again. We often cover our whole table as we go.
So we now play with two sets.
Being such big fans of the learning capacity of this game, we gave our first two sets away and have just recently replaced them so we can play again.
The game is another way to keep building, keep thinking in Te Reo Māori, it makes you search your mind for some of those kupu you might not use often, dust them off and remember them again.
The man loves busting out the kupu with the ‘whaka’ beginning and then adding the various ‘whiore’ on the end. We’re probably a bit nerdy, but we’re older and get more out of it by not getting into raruraru about who won…We still have to live together afterwards! Karawhuia! Give it a go!

I hokona tēnei kēmu hei whakakī wā i roto i ngēnei hararei. Ka mutu he kēmu whakarorirori i te pīnati, whakakorikori i te hinengaro ki te hanga kupu. E mihi atu ana!

I brought this as a gift for my husband as he is studying t reo Māori next year. He was real stoked with it and is looking forward to playing with his classmates.
Great service in the middle of busy Christmas times. Thanks
