In Kamara, you play as a spirit, or diwa, trying to influence someone's mind within a chamber. Each diwa represents a different emotion through color. The goal is to alter game tiles to match the yellow Kamara card you hold. Each successful match earns you that card. The first player to collect three yellow Kamara cards wins. The game demands quick thinking and strategic planning in a short play session.
Who Is This Game For?

How It Works
Players each take the role of a diwa spirit, each tied to a color symbolizing an emotion. The main mechanic is code-matching: players modify game tiles to match their yellow Kamara card.
