Rajas of the Ganges: Cards & Karma

India in the era of the aspiring Mogul empire. New lands are being gained along with great prosperity attained through the trading of silk, tea, and spices. Imposing structures such as the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort are built, and gorgeous gardens are created alongside new buildings and parks that will impress generations to come even centuries later.

At a time when the empire has almost reached its greatest dimensions and is in a phase of relative stability, players, representing rajas and ranis, are called upon to live up to the requirements of their role as venerable sovereigns. They must improve their estates into magnificent and wealthy provinces. Keeping in mind the important role of karma, players balance their growth in a demanding interplay of prestige and prosperity. The one with the most successful outcome will truly become one of the nation’s legendary leaders.

You and up to 3 other players are Rajas and Ranis in 16th century India. Players compete to develop and expand their estates as their power and influence grow. Dice play the part of resources in this worker-placement game where you must balance your rise on the dual paths of fame and riches. But never underestimate the power of good karma!
