Pralaya is a board game released in 2015 for 2–5 players and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Y. Ohashi and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Push Your Luck, and Open Drafting.
Long ago, there was an island nation in the southern sea that enjoyed a great period of cultural prosperity. Surrounded by natural beauty and gifted with tremendous intellect, the island's residents believed their peaceful lifestyle would go on for all time. But one morning, a fearsome demon broke free and began to drag the island into the depths of the sea. With the end growing near, the king ordered his most loyal retainers to gather as much of the nation's knowledge and as many of the island's treasures as they could, and flee to the northern lands. In Pralaya, your goal is to secure island relics and people and evacuate them from the sinking island. The more you evacuate, the higher you score. But don't press your luck too much or you'll risk valuable points for saving yourself. Will you collect the most valuable relics, coins, and buy your safe passage from the island before it sinks into the deep? 遥か昔、南海には美しい島が存在しました。しかし恐るべき悪魔が島を海に沈め始めたのです。島が沈む前に多くの宝を集め北の地に脱出しましょう! 島の遺物と残された命を集め、北の地へ脱出する事が目的です。より多くを集めた人が勝利しますが、島が完全に沈む前に脱出しなければ命を落としてしまいます。遺物を効率よく集める事はもちろん、脱出のタイミングを見極める事も重要となります。なお、逃げ遅れたとしても集めた遺物だけでも事前に船で送り出していた場合、その功績は評価されるので必ず負けるわけではありません。新しいタイプの戦略型チキンレースです。
Pralaya supports 2–5 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 catalogue lists Pralaya for ages 10 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.
Pralaya has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a 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.
Pralaya belongs to these categories: Card Game and Ancient. Its main mechanics are Set Collection, Push Your Luck, and Open Drafting.
