Description

Parikrama is a travel card game that's all about embracing the journey, not just the destination. As a solo traveler, you'll wander through diverse landscapes, discovering new sights and experiences along the way. With a playtime of just 30 to 45 minutes, it's the perfect game for a quick getaway with friends, and with 2 to 5 players, you can share the adventure with a group. The game's normal complexity makes it easy to learn, even for those familiar with board games, and its 2022 release brings a fresh take on abstract strategy and card game mechanics. As you travel, you'll collect inscribed tiles, each with mysterious symbols and patterns that can be connected to reveal powerful Parikrama routes. The goal is to complete your Parikrama map by joining a pattern of 9 tiles, which triggers the end game. But it's not just about speed - you'll need to balance your journey with the right collection of symbols and routes to gather the most points. With card drafting, set collection, and tile placement mechanics, you'll have to make strategic choices to outdo your opponents. The player with the best balance of a vivid journal, symbols, and Parikrama routes will win the game, making Parikrama a thrilling and rewarding experience for all players.
