You and your friends are followers seeking a special favor from the goddess, but to achieve this, you must face a peculiar challenge: traversing a path made of magic carpets floating in the sky. This is where the fun begins, turning the journey into a frantic race where luck and cunning go hand in hand. In Parvati, the dynamics revolve around dice rolling. The goal is simple: advance across the colorful carpets using the colors that appear on your rolls. Sounds easy? Wait until you see the interaction with your rivals! The tension rises because your opponents won't just race; they will do everything in their power to block your path and ensure they reach the princess first. Strategy comes into play when managing your results. If luck isn't on your side and you can't move forward with the dice you rolled, there is a way out: you can buy a wild carpet. These wild carpets are essential for unlocking your movement and preventing you from staying still while others zoom ahead. But beware of greed and miscalculations: if you cannot utilize the dice during your turn, you lose the entire round! It's the perfect kind of game for those who love the adrenaline of 'pushing their luck' and the satisfaction of outsmarting their friends. With fast-paced matches and accessible rules, Parvati blends an oriental mystical theme with the competitiveness of a classic racing game, ensuring no one gets bored. Will you manage to navigate these magic carpets with the necessary precision, or will you end up left behind in the clouds? ## How to Play Game Objective In Parvati, players traverse a path of carpets to reach the final destination. The objective is to strategically navigate the path, using the dice to advance and collect special items, aiming to reach the Temple of Parvati. Preparation (Setup) To set up your game, follow these steps: Create a random path using the 15 two-color carpets between the Royal Palace tile and the Temple of Parvati tile. Place the betting tiles within reach of all players. Place the wild carpets, the multicolored carpet, and the dice near the created path to form a reserve. Each player must choose a player marker and place it on the Royal Palace tile. Game Flow The game follows a simple turn order: Start: The player who has most recently visited India is the first to play. The Turn: The active player rolls the 6 dice and tries to place them on the two-color carpets or wild carpets to advance along the path. Continuity: A player can only roll the dice again if they managed to place at least one die on a space or a wild in the previous turn. Passing the Turn: The turn ends when the player decides to stop, when they place all the dice, or when they can no longer place any dice. The next player then starts their turn. Actions and How to Play During your turn, you must manage your dice rolls to advance along the path: Placing Dice: You must place the dice on the spaces of the carpets corresponding to the colors/symbols on the dice faces. You can fill spaces in advanced positions (it does not have to be sequential). Using Wilds: If you have a wild carpet in your stock, you can place it over a common carpet before placing the dice. If you place a die on a wild during your turn, you collect it at the end of the turn. Movement: If you manage to complete the dice path, you move your player marker to the last position where you placed a die. Movement Restrictions: If you cannot place any dice, you must stop immediately, do not move, and cannot take a wild. If, at the end of the turn, any space along the path between your current position and the last occupied space does not have a die, you lose the turn and do not advance. Each space can only have one player marker at a time; spaces occupied by other players are not considered for your movement. End of Game and Scoring Refer to the manual for details on this section. Tips for Winning Risk Management: It is better to stop rolling the dice at the right time to ensure that the path between your current position and the last occupied space is fully filled, avoiding losing the turn without advancing. Wild Strategy: Try to place dice on wild carpets to ensure you collect these items at the end of your turn. ## FAQ ### Is the game very complex? Not at all!
