About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! Ready to give your Karuba game an extra kick? This little expansion, which originated from a Haba catalog, introduces four new bonus tiles that promise to spice up the race across the island. The concept is straightforward: whoever is the first to achieve one of the four specific objectives snags the tile and extra points. Think fast, because if multiple players achieve the feat in the same round, the bonus tile is removed from the game!
We have objectives for the quickest treasure collectors (one of each type in every adventure is worth 2 VP), for the hoarders (any 4 treasures in one adventure yield 3 VP), for the master route builders (connecting all adventurers to their colored temples grants 3 VP), and for the speed demons (moving all your explorers at least once secures 2 VP).
Karuba is already that light and quick game everyone enjoys, and this expansion adds an extra layer of challenge and competition without overcomplicating things. It's perfect for those who want to vary their games and seek new strategies to maximize points. Since it's a "Print & Play" material, you can print it yourself and start playing right away. If you enjoy Karuba and want more options to make your games even more dynamic, this expansion is a gem!
