Overview
Samsara is a deck-building and pawn-moving game in which your goal is to be the first player to reach the Nirvana. Tiger, elephant, snake, holy cow or ape, you will play an Indian animal with unique abilities. Each turn, you choose which element of your life you want to value. Do you have children? Do you favor your career? Or do you devote yourself to spirituality? All theses choices allow you to gain experience cards, and eventually get the precious Amulets of Eternity, indispensable keys to the Nirvana. But beware, if you go too fast, you will get Bad Karma cards, penalties that weigh on your future lives. Only a subtle balance between good and bad actions will guarantee you reach your goal. —description from the publisher
