Tapu Ae is a Maori game that you can play with or without rippa tags. some of the basic rules are if you knock over a ball it will go under the cone and the team who knock of the ball got a point if they knocked the ball off. Start the games by throwing the Kī into Te Ao (the middle zone) this is done after each tupu hit. If a team losses possession out of bounds over the sides, then they hand over the Kī to the opposition. If it goes out over the back, the defensive teams kaitiaki gets the Kī. The Kī must be touched by your team in Te Ao before the attack can gain possession. If you are using a Poi Toa, attackers need to keep the poi swinging, if the defender is close enough to be hit by the Poi, then they are too close, if 2 people catch the Poi at the same time then the closest to the ki (head/ball) retains possession (also refer to Poi Toa) the equipment you need to play with is
