About the game
Parikrama is a relaxing, yet witty travel card game. In this game, you are a solo traveler wandering through a myriad of landscapes in the pursuit of discovery, adventure and enlightenment - traversing across forests, rivers, deserts and valleys that come along your path... occasionally discovering monuments along your way to rejuvenate and pray. There are a lot of choices to be made - taking a shorter journey can help you move faster in the game, but a longer journey can be more rewarding, additionally landing you a chance to hitch-hike on your next journey via a bullock carriage, a riverboat ferry.. or even jump on the truck to travel even faster! Completing a journey awards you with not just points but experience as well, which will help you travel more efficiently as the game progresses. Every journey also gifts you with an inscribed tile, a lost clay tablet with mysterious symbols and patterns that unveil fantastic Parikrama routes of the ancient times! When connected carefully, these tiles yield powerful results - and the player who first joins a pattern of 9 tiles, has completed their Parikrama map and triggers the end game! The player with the best balance of a vivid journal, the right collection of symbols and Parikrama routes gathers the most points and wins the game!
