The Bad Karmas and The Curse of the Zodiac (2024)

About this game

Okay, so 12 horrifying gigantic demigods called Zodiacs have awoken and want to extinguish human civilization. Pretty crappy day. And it turns out only you and your band of unlikely heroes can defeat these monster a-holes and save us all. Ready? Yeah, you were born ready. The Bad Karmas and The Curse of the Zodiac is a cooperative tactical boss-battle board game with a digital dimension. Work together to defeat the 12 Zodiacs who evolve and respond in real-time to player actions. The game comes with smart miniatures, board, dice, a free companion app, and the new Teburu game platform, which keeps tracks of everything on the smart board and enhances gameplay with artificial intelligence.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 5. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.9/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
