Description

A Strategy Game for Enlightened Minds For over 1,000 years, Tibet's Potala Palace has been a center of knowledge, meditation and peace. As the seat of the Tibetan government, Potala has been the home of Dalai Lamas, Tibetan Kings and countless generations of Buddhist monks. Deep within the Palace is a Secret Garden where Buddhist Elders bring student monks to test them in the arts of focus, meditation and concentration. On the floor of the garden is etched a grid of 312 squares. Here, 2-4 students at a time are challenged to place colored stones on the grid, with the ultimate goal of placing more stones than the others. Their work is guided by two deceptively simple rules... In addition, as the stones are placed, an Elder walks silently around the perimeter of the garden, keeping a tally of all he sees... Online Play Cycloops (turn-based)
