The Karms

The Karms is a new finger flicking game with just a dash of dicey luck. Played on a 13X13 grid players are trying to be the first to flick each of the eight pieces (think backgammon or crokinole discs) across the board. Pieces are introduced, or moved based on the roll of two D6 dice. A piece can move the value of a single die. Each player also has a steel guard piece he places at the end of a turn. The flicking part comes at the start of the 2nd players turn. His first action is to place a wall piece and then user the striker disc. The striker is 'flicked' and can rebound off the wall. The idea is to push an opponent's piece farther from its goal, or advance one of his own pieces closer.
