Description


Karma: the boardgame is a roll of the dice trivia game, involving set collection, negotiation, and cooperation.

The object of the game is to achieve all four levels of evolution, (plant, animal, human and monk) to become a guru and your chance to answer the ultimate enlightenment question.

The story is that your soul has been released from purgatory and as you seek enlightenment, karma may reward or punish your past deeds.

See the video below for an introduction

When the game starts each player is given 1,000 karma points (karma). Players can gain karma by collecting 4 different coloured cards (blue, red, green, and grey).

Both karma and life cards will be needed to unlock new evolution levels. Evolution can also be achieved by acting, miming and pontificating the answers to questions from each of the corresponding evolution levels.

But beware, losing all your karma will send you back to purgatory.

The video below takes you through the game play.

At the end of each round of turns all players enter karma negotiation where players buy, sell and/or swap life and evolution cards. After karma negotiation is completed the karma wheel is spun.

Players with life cards that match the colour spun receive karma from all other players.

Win the game by evolving to become a guru and answer the ultimate enlightenment question.

Enjoy the journey.

Why buy this?

I’ve played other themed trivia-like games but never one that is based on Eastern religion and philosophy.

  • Answer, act and mime your way to enlightenment
  • Feel the thrill, start from purgatory and end up a guru
  • Evolve through play, afterall this is serious!

Notes

  • This game contains a premium upgrade called UV Coating that makes the printed components more durable.
  • This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
