Konja

About this board game

Konja is a press-your-luck and resource-management dice game for 2 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Two rival wizards answer an old king’s summons, competing to manifest a great storm and bring rain to a dry land.

Each round, both wizards take a turn. The active player first selects an available Ancestor, gaining a Favour while granting both wizards a Blessing. These benefits can refresh Spell cards, enable Relic purchases and sales, or provide Clouds.

The active wizard then rolls the dice and uses Spell and Relic cards to manipulate the results. Choosing when to press your luck and how to shape your dice combinations is central to gathering the resources needed for victory.

• A single die showing a high number rewards Power, which strengthens Relic effects.
• A pair of dice rewards Magick, used to activate Spells in hand.
• A run of three or more consecutive numbers rewards Gold, spent on Relics from the Offerings or sacrificed for Clouds.
• Three or more dice showing the same number provide Clouds, which score at the end of the game.

Gold, Magick, Power, and Clouds each support a different part of your strategy. Activate powerful Spells, improve your options with Relics, and pursue the dice patterns that best advance your plan.

When the first wizard reaches 21 or more points worth of Clouds, the final round is triggered. After both players complete their turns, the wizard with the most points is declared the winner. In Konja, every roll offers another chance to build the storm—or risk falling short.
