The idea is that players go around a board based on the Buddhist wheel of life. A dice decides which realm he or she is born into and they then move around the section.A 'karma card' decides which realm the player is to be reborn into. The idea is to escape from the wheel and become a Buddha - once you've done that you can opt to go back in to help other players and prolong the game into infinity.[from The Guardian, http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1682847,00.html ] - BoardGameGeek
