Big Manitou consists of a series of Hunts. The more players there are, the more Hunts the game comprises. After the last hunt, the player who has accrued the most points is declared the winner. In the event of a tie, whoever got more from the Tipi Booty-Tiles takes precedence. And in the unlikely case that they tie in Tipi points as well, then whoever has collected the most booty tiles in the entire game is the winner.
