In Kurukshetra, players fight the epic battle of Kurukshetra following the story as it was first told in the hindu epic Mahabharata. Two families, the Pandavas and the Kauravas fight for control of the kingdom. It's a strategy boardgame played in two phases: In the first phase, players struggle to obtain different advice from Krishna that will help them further on. In the next phase, players battle the heroes of the Kaurava family. Special Pandava family members and Krishnas advice are extra efficient when facing the different Kaurava warriors. The winner of the game is the one who defeats most Kaurava warriors and scores most victory points.
