Amṛtaka

Amrtaka: Battle for Immortality – Forge Your Legacy in a Mythological War Will you seize immortality or fade into legend? Dive into an epic struggle inspired by the ancient Hindu legend of Samudra Manthana (The Churning of the Cosmic Ocean). As a warrior-king, lead your kingdom against rivals in a race to capture Amrit—the elixir of eternal life. But immortality demands cunning: forge alliances, outmaneuver foes, and harness divine power in this deeply strategic board game where every choice echoes through mythic history.

Choose wisely—each path demands opposing strategies! Mythology Brought to Life: Gods and demons aren’t just lore—they’re game-changing mechanics. Deploy 10 hidden god-followers whose phased powers reshape the board across 30 turns. Revolutionary Portal System: Bend space with personal portals to teleport armies instantly. But beware: place them recklessly, and lose them forever to enemy conquests. Tense Action Economy: Every turn burns precious weapons (needed even to move!). Sacrifice short-term gains for long-term setups, balancing card abilities, armies, and divine boons. Phased Epic Scale: The game evolves in three acts, driven by god-follower movements: claim lands early, unleash divine powers mid-game, and scramble in a “power vacuum” as time runs out! ★ Key Mechanics That Shine: Strategic Combat: Attack with matched weapon types (melee/ranged) and outpower defenders using card values + army bonuses. Lose your standee’s land? Suffer crushing setbacks! Dynamic Board Control: Make lands “immortal” for huge points… but lose exclusivity and thin the action deck. Trade territories to reposition or upgrade holdings! God-Follower Powers: Reveal hidden abilities in Phase 2 (turns 11–20) for explosive one-time boosts—then adapt when gods withdraw in the endgame. Brutal Consequences: Face possible elimination if stripped of all armies AND weapons… yet your portals linger, haunting rivals even in defeat! ★ Immersive Components: 10 Circular Lands looping in a cosmic ocean, divine zones, and a central island. 48 Action Cards packed with directional choices, teleports, and tactical boosts. Army/Weapon Tokens (red/gray armies, melee/ranged weapons) and Portal Tokens for warp-speed tactics. Deluxe Edition: Swap standees for 3D warrior-king miniatures and track points in a magic flower bowl! Perfect for fans of Inis, Kemet, or Cyclades who crave deeper integration of theme and strategy. Amrtaka masterfully blends Hindu mythology with knife-edge decisions, ensuring no two games unfold alike. Will you hoard Amrit for your kingdom—or shatter rivals to claim eternity? Ready your weapons. The ocean churns. Immortality awaits.
