the fifth kingdom BOARD game - Designed by Surbhi Pandya

Outermost circular path made from fire and ice, is the path to master anger passion. Our emotions of anger, rage etc. defines this as the hellish path.  One tile is highlighted, which becomes a compulsory stop to gain the mastery ring to feed your pawn. 

 Inner circular path next to the ‘Anger path’ is animal drawings. Deceit is mastered on this path. Being in a state of manipulating others for our gains, manifests as this tiryanch path. The sheep is highlighted for attaining the mastery ring. 

 Inner circular path next to the ‘Deceit path’ is the clouds. Identify the highlighted cloud for gaining the mastery ring for the deceit passion. Our emotions of wants and desires defines this heavenly path.

 Inner-most circular path is made of diamonds. Pride is challenged on this path which defines human experience. You pick up a ‘Shift’ card each time you land on the yellow diamond. It has an entry for ‘The Inner Maze’ path. 

Your pawn needs to be fed with three mastery rings for each of the Anger, Deceit and Greed paths. These rings are fed at the top of your pawn. For each player there is a set of mastery rings provided. 

Loosing a mastery ring - You may lose these mastery rings by picking some of the ‘Shift cards’. In that case, you will go back to the path to gain the mastery ring again. 

Each deck of cards expose our temptations when we are in a state of anger, deceit, greed and pride. The cards also applause when we manage them well. 

When you land on any ‘Karma’ tile, you pick from the deck, which matches the path. Thus, there are four karma decks for each path. Pile the cards and place them in the four corners of the game. 

Shift deck – When you land each time on a yellow diamond, you pick a card from the Shift deck. These cards allow following: -

1. Delete unwanted karmas

2. Entry to the ‘Three Jewel Maze’ 

3. Loose your mastery ring

(Please note- When your direction is reversed, it becomes corrected only upon gaining the mastery ring of that path.) 

You can at any time change your path by crossing from the bridges. You can thus design your own quickest way to gain the mastery rings, by going up and down the bridges. 

 The Three Jewel maze is accessed only after gaining the three mastery rings. Then, get the Shift card from yellow diamond positions to access this maze. Level of difficulty in crossing this maze increases. Your mastery of inner clarity, pure knowledge and purity of character is challenged here. 

You must roll an exact number from dice to enter inside the Golden Lotus, to become a True Master. You ride through the Three Jewel maze path only once and wait for the final exact number to appear

 Once you become awakened and reach the Golden lotus, you play with this dice. You give advantage to your choice of players to come closer to their own awakening. However, the last exact roll of numbers to enter the Golden Lotus is played by the player only. 

1. Choose a pawn. Roll only the single wooden dice provided. Whichever place a player is sitting will be the starting point for that player. Beginning will be the last concentric circular path made from fire and ice. 

2. You make your own way by crossing the bridges and gaining all the three mastery rings. Your pawn never crosses the mastery tile. It has to stop to gain the mastery ring no matter what number is rolled on dice. If you have already gained a mastery ring of that path, the mastery tile is considered a normal tile to be moved over.

3. Once you have access to The Three Jewel Maze, master this inner maze and become Awakened. Win over your passions, and become a true Master, by guiding others through their own self-mastery. So, you help others through by rolling the golden dice. 

Game ends only when everyone has become the master of their own passions, by becoming the Golden Lotus- An awakened state of Our Being.
