Chakra: Yin Yang is an expansion for Chakra released in 2020 for 2–4 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Luka Krleža and its main mechanics are Set Collection.
The 4 distinct modules of Yin-Yang can be combined at will for a brand-new gameplay experience of Chakra. The first module introduces new strategic opportunities with the white crystals. They allow you to increase the speed and flow of energies by temporarily harmonizing Chakras. By combining them with negative energies, you will gain Yin-Yang tokens, an additional source of plenitude. The second module and its harmonization bonuses will speed up the game and make every Chakra attractive, while the third module will have you race to achieve your objectives, forcing you to make difficult choices and increasing interaction. The last module will then require good timing to benefit the most from the available special abilities. -description from publisher
Chakra: Yin Yang supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Chakra: Yin Yang is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Chakra: Yin Yang for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Chakra: Yin Yang has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
