CHAI

Summary:
In this game, players strategically use terrain and ability cards to either compete with or cooperate with fellow players. By leveraging card abilities, players collect Spirit (marbles) and Reality (marbles) points. These points are then placed on a balance. When a player's accumulated points surpass the weight of a chosen object, they achieve varied endings determining their victory. It's a game of strategy, balance, and decisions.

Background(Lead in story for players):You are deceased, but before fading entirely, your consciousness finds itself in an empty world with only a vast highway. After moments of dizziness and fleeting memories, you open your eyes to stand at the road's center. Gorgeous sceneries lie beyond its edges, tempting you to touch, but you're confined to the path, moving straight ahead, witnessing shifting landscapes that seemingly hold the power to alter past life decisions or offer pivotal life choices. Every decision impacts your emotions and being. You aren't alone; others also trudge forward in this desolate realm. You recognize the importance of your choices and interactions with these souls in navigating this eerie space.
