Climb your way up the Karmic Ladder and be the first to achieve Transcendence but be careful, bad karma can come back to haunt you in the next life. Karmaka is a competitive card game for 24 players in which everyone starts out as a lowly dung beetle in a karmic universe; but if you play your cards right with good deeds and careful planning, you can ascend the rungs of the Karmic Ladder and be the first to achieve Transcendence! Each life (hand of cards) consists of doing deeds some positive, some clever, and some antagonistic with the aim of gathering karmic points to try and ascend to the next level on the Karmic Ladder. You can also stash cards for your future lives to strategically draft your next opening hand, or use cards to harm a rivals chances of ascending instead. But if you choose to do harm, beware the wronged party can take that card and stash it for the next life. What goes around comes around!
