What you need to know: Turasa is a Yoga inspired board game for kids.
The idea is to help Turasa, the turtle find his way back home from the ocean. You must disguise yourself as animals (yoga poses) to blend in while helping Turasa.
What else you need to know: There is only one movable piece in the game, the unity rock, which means that players have to work together to help Turasa return home.
Turasa includes 4 types of game cards to represent different areas on the game board. The river is purple, ocean is blue, the city is red, and the jungle is green. As you progress on your journey, you will have to use different cards.
To play: Pick a card and perform the action shown on the card and hold for 3 seconds.
Then move your unity rock the amount of spaces indicated on that card. When completed, it’s time for the next player to choose a card.
Here are some examples of the actions players are required to perform.
Besides for movement, the cards also include gratitude and breathing exercises.
Skills this works on: Flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, relaxation, teamwork, perseverance, sustained attention, and mindfulness.
Conclusion: This game ROCKS!
