Project Overview
Project Overview
Aakara is an endogenous educational board game that introduces players to core mathematical concepts of Area and Perimeter through spatially guided, visual problem-solving. Players take turns drawing Challenge Cards that require responding to the current game state by performing specific actions. The goal is to use up all assigned sticks by accurately completing challenges, promoting intuitive understanding of geometric relationships through interactive play.
Objective
Objective
Empty your hand first by solving spatial challenges within strict build limits (move freely, add ≤2 sticks, enforce closure). Each turn is a lesson in area/perimeter efficiency.
