About the game
What you do in a play session
Karak II is the standalone sequel to the acclaimed Karak, this time adding an extra layer of complexity while keeping it kid-friendly. Each player becomes a hero on an epic quest: defeat the fearsome Dark General and his monsters. To do so, you’ll gather resources, build cities, train units (represented by dice), and battle creatures to steal their powerful Soul Stones. The modular hex grid board expands as you explore, creating a unique world every game. In the end, whoever has the most Soul Stones wins – but watch out, the monsters won’t make it easy! Perfect for families who love adventures with a dash of strategy and plenty of dice-driven chaos.
