Idea

Buddhism is a mysterious religion. It proposed that cosmos have a kind of Karma. Good deeds will come back to help you, and bad deeds will come back to hurt you, and Karma retrospective period will be the previous, present and future world. 

Buddhism proposed Reincarnation, its Saṃsāra cosmology consisted of six realms through which wheel of existence recycled. This included hells, hungry ghosts, animals, humans, heaven, and Ashura. Our soul will lead by different Karma and recycled to one of those six realms continuously. 

Board games have similar characteristics with Reincarnation, each round is like a birth of life repeatedly. This board game combined with the idea of Reincarnation and aims to promote the wisdom of The Buddhism in a simple and fun way.

桌上遊戲與曼陀羅有共同特性,也是一輪、一輪不停地轉,每新的一局就像是一次輪迴,一次新的生命,又重生開始。所以這遊戲的設計目的是把桌遊跟曼陀羅的共同特性結合在一起,寓教於樂的同時讓玩家能從中理解到佛學對輪迴以及因果上一些比較複雜的概念。

為了解釋有關佛學中有關六道輪迴的思想,桌遊選用了曼陀羅中的六道輪迴圖作為棋盤的藍本,再進行修改。
