Java is a German-style board game designed by Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling, illustrated by Franz Vohwinkel, and published in 2000 by Ravensburger in German and by Rio Grande Games in English.

In the game, players build the island of Java to set up palace festivals and gain victory points.

Players build the island and score by setting up palace festivals at opportune moments.

A final scoring phase now takes place and a winner is declared.
