The Pitch
Kali Yuga, the Age of Despair, has descended upon the land. As society collapses, the Devas who rule this world vie for a single honor: to become Kalki, the one who destroys the old age and forges the next. Amass followers, sway wise Elders, and enlist mighty allies while corruption rises and fearsome Asura stalk the realm.
Objective — Build your deck, overcome Calamities, defeat Asura, and be the first Deva to sway four Elders to your side. The game ends the instant someone does.
How You Play
Deck‑Building. Begin with ten humble devotees. Recruit new cards straight into your hand and Exile the untrue to sharpen a strategy that's yours alone.
Worker Placement. Move your Avatar across the board to gather Resources or spend them to advance your plans and climb the four Path tracks.
The Mantra. Chain up to five cards into an overlapping tableau. Harmonize matching Paths to reach Enlightenment and score Elders.
Corruption & the Cycle. A shared river of cards darken from Dawn to Dusk as Corruption climbs, creating a natural escalation driven by player choices.
The Asura. Rule‑bending demons seeded into the Dusk deck warp the game until a bold Deva pays the price to banish them.
Calamities. Show Strength in the face of looming disasters to Decide their outcome — or reap the benefits of working with other players to share in the rewards.

Why It Stands Out
- Fast & tactical. Meaningful decisions from the very first turn, with tactical and strategic tension.
- Built‑in escalation. The game pace and intensity is set by the players: Corruption spreads with the feats of the Devas.
- No two games alike. The shifting Asura, Calamities, and Cycle ensure that each session offers a unique experience.
- Asymmetric Devas. Eight deities with unique powers and situational strengths drive deep replayability.
- A mythic setting. Explore South Asian legends rendered with striking, original art.
