KARMARAS IS A CARD GAME, cooming soon SCROLL DOWN FOR RULES OF PLAY

wATCH THE VIDEO BELOW FOR A 10 min overview,

HERE IS THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE RULES FOR THE MAIN MODE OF GAME PLAY

1. Decide who goes first (or the order of play if more than 2 people)

2. Draw 3 cards

4. You can hold up to 3 cards, but must play the remaining cards in your hand

5. To play your hand, lay your cards stacked showing only the top bar of color on the card, (no one knows but you if your cards have good karma points or bad karma points)

6. Your opponent can call out the bad karma cards, if they get it right then the bad karma effects your current hand.  If they guess wrong about your karma however many good karma points are on the card inversely turn into bad karma points affecting your hand and causing you to lose cards.

7. The goal of the game is to get the highest score, you play 3 rounds, keeping score among all players.  A round is complete once a player "completes their sequence" and balances out their karma,(100 points) it is possible to complete your "sequence" with bad karma cards (negative points) in it but if a bad karma card is played by anyone after the sequence is complete you get negative points based on how much bad karma you were concealing in your column or "sequence"

8. There are two main sequences or columns on the outside face of the card they represent the same number of total cards (22) one seqeunce has slightly different colors but both columns or sequences on the outside of the card represent 22 cards in the deck.

9. There are currently six types of special cards in the deck that effect how the game is played

SNATCH CARD - there is only one of these per deck it allows you to snatch a card from someone elses column once used it is put back to the bottom of the deck

KORE CARD - argurably the most powerful card (besides the wild card) it allows you to jump ahead in your sequnce it represents a total of 15 cards in the sequence

ALPHA OMEGA CARD - this is the begining of the sequence and the end of the sequence representing 7 cards by one single card, if it is possesed along with the kore card that player wins that round (the only thing that can stop this scenario is if your opponent has a snatch card which they could use to take back one of those cards.

WILD CARD - As its name implies the wild card can be anything you need it to be at any time, including a KORE CARD, an ALPHA OMEGA CARD, anything at all.

GOOD KARMA CARD - this card changes the mode of play into good karma which makes the split cards in the sequence, also known as switch cards either good or bad.

BAD KARMA CARD - this card can be used to turn a switch card to bad karma, or at the end of the game if your opponent completes theier sequence (100 points) but you have a bad karma card you can convert all the bad karma cards in the sequnce to negative points so their score for the round would be less then 100 if they had bad karma in thier sequence.

10. Play 3 rounds highest score wins

______________________________________________

Obviously there are several strategies to playing the game you are trying to complete your sequence (balance your karma) while at the same time dealing with the influence of the bad karma cards, you can play them as soon as you get them and suffer consequences immediately or you can hold them for later, or you can hustle them (hide them in your sequence).

The game Karmaras is currently being created and tested by John Gholson Jr.    Some of the concepts were contributed by his brother (an avid magic card player and gamer, and his Father)  (Had to put that to keep my karma good :)

ONE OF THE ONLY CARD GAMES USING THE CONCEPT OF CHACKRAS (engery sources of the body) COMBINED WITH KARMA,

Hence the name was arrived at by combining the word Karma with the end of chackras ras  = KARMARAS
