Rajas of the Ganges: Cards & Karma condenses the ideas of the original board game into a brisk card-driven race. Double-sided cards represent buildings, goods, river opportunities, and dice-like action values; the side used now may become a different resource after it is flipped. Players draft from a shared display, improve their provinces, trade along the river, earn money and fame, and spend karma to reshape awkward turns. Six goal cards track progress across several paths, and the first player to flip all six wins. The result retains the tension between fame and wealth while replacing a large board with a compact, highly connected card system.
