Java is the second game in the Kramer/Kiesling game series that also includes Tikal and Mexica. The game was brand new to John D. and Rob; Dick and Julie had played a few times. The special "temple of Loki" tile is the last piece played in the game. This tile was dog chewed to earn the special moniker. Dick's big last turn scoring propelled him to victory.
