🔥 HOT: Ainalu - HD Photos!

DESCRIPTION

Ainalu is a card game of spirit, ghosts and shamanic medical ritual.

Inspired by Kazakh nomadic tradition, ainalu means:

“To circle around you, to carry your pain.”

In the vast grasslands, shamans once circled around the sick, absorbing their pain, then return it to the land.


GAMEPLAY

In this game, you perform a ritual of healing across four sacred loops. Each loop is harder. Each turn, you must:

--Draw Disease cards heavy with negative energy

--Play Healing cards drawn from the spirit

--Carefully place them on the ritual grid

--Avoid your spirit power dropping below zero

At the center of all is the Shaman’s Hand:

A healer’s hand.

A palmless hand, its spiral speaking of protection, transformation, and the universe.

A hand of all who choose to carry pain in love.

I like the style of both your game and this page, even the music, they are so unified! But unfortunately, the font style confused me when reading the rules, so I still not quite understand how to play clearly even after playing. OverAll, I like it! ;3

Thank you so much for your feedback! We really appreciate it. We apologize for the incomplete rule explanations in the game. I've now added a detailed rule table to the game description to help clarify things :) Thanks again for taking the time to comment!
