PlayMonster KARMA Card Game – Fast-Paced Elimination Fun for the Whole Family, Ages 8+

KARMA by PlayMonster is a fast-paced elimination card game where players race to get rid of their cards by playing a card of equal or higher value. If you can't play, you must pick up the entire discard pile. Special Karma cards act as wilds to help you or cause trouble for others. The last player left with cards loses, and everyone else wins. Designed for 2 to 6 players (or up to 12 when combining two decks), it's ideal for family game night, travel, and parties. Ages 8 and up.

How the Game Plays

Each round, players take turns playing a card from their hand that matches or beats the top card of the discard pile. If you cannot play, you pick up the whole pile, adding to your hand. The goal is to be the first to empty your hand. But watch out—Karma cards can flip the game in an instant. Play them to skip a turn, reverse direction, or force another player to draw. The game is elimination-style: one loser, multiple winners.

What Makes KARMA Different from Other Card Games?

Unlike many card games where only one winner exists, KARMA rewards everyone except the last player with cards. This structure keeps all players engaged until the very end. The Karma cards add a layer of strategy and unpredictability, making each game feel fresh. Plus, the game is easy to learn, so kids can join in quickly.
