Chakra

About this board game

Chakra is a strategy game for 1–4 players that plays in about 30 minutes. Each player seeks to harmonize seven chakras by filling them with colored gems and carefully guiding the energy into alignment.

Every player has an individual board showing the seven chakras. To score points, you must place three gems of the corresponding color in each chakra. The challenge lies in collecting the right gems and moving them into the positions needed for a perfect arrangement.

On your turn, choose one of three actions:

• Take gems: Take up to three gems from one column and place them on your board. By spending an inspiration token, you can put them in a more strategic position.
• Use an action: Spend an inspiration token to activate one of eight available actions, moving gems up or down by the number of chakra spaces shown.
• Meditate: Reclaim an inspiration token and secretly look at the point value that a harmonized chakra will score. This value is shared by all players.

Planning matters as you balance immediate opportunities with the positioning required to complete your chakras. The inspiration tokens provide flexibility, while the available actions create tactical choices about when and where to move your gems.

Once a player aligns five chakras, the game enters its final stage. Everyone receives one last turn before performing the final scoring, rewarding the player who has created the most valuable harmony across their board.

With its focus on thoughtful positioning, limited resources, and shared scoring information, Chakra offers a calm but engaging puzzle of energy, timing, and strategic alignment.
