Description

In Samsara, you'll embark on a journey to reach the ultimate goal of Nirvana, playing as one of several Indian animals, each with its own unique abilities. As you navigate the game, you'll make choices that reflect different aspects of life, such as family, career, or spirituality, and these decisions will earn you experience cards and potentially even the coveted Amulets of Eternity. These amulets are crucial to achieving your goal, but be careful not to rush ahead too quickly, or you'll risk accumulating Bad Karma cards, which can hinder your progress in future lives. With a playtime of 20 to 60 minutes, Samsara is a game that can be enjoyed by 1 to 5 players, and its normal complexity makes it accessible to those familiar with board games. Designed by Sylas, Sylas, and published in 2018, Samsara combines deck, bag, and pool building mechanics with variable player powers, creating a engaging and dynamic experience. As you balance your actions and make strategic decisions, you'll need to find a subtle harmony between good and bad choices to succeed. With its blend of strategy and luck, Samsara is a game that will challenge and entertain you, whether you're playing alone or with friends.
