Kahuna Uku

From BoardGameGeek:

Deep in the jungle, on the Isle of Uku, the mythical Mo'o are a problem. In an effort to banish the Mo'o, the village's Kahuna has fallen--leaving an open seat for the next strongest tribe member. Are you fierce and clever enough to become the next Kahuna? Kahuna Uku is a savagely strategic card game where only the most cunning player will emerge victorious. Choose your opponents wisely, or there may be blood. To become the Kahuna, be the first player to play out of your three-card sets. Build the discard pile. Pressure the table. Force mistakes. And when someone thinks they're safe, remind them that they're not. -description from the publisher
