About the game

What is Karak II?

Karak II is a standalone sequel to Karak, and this second installment adds a more complex layer of gameplay while staying approachable for kids. Each player becomes a hero, trying to defeat monsters and their leader: the Dark General. To achieve that, they have to collect resources, build and develop their cities, and train new units (represented by dice) to add to their army. Over the course of the game, players will defeat monsters carrying powerful soul stones – and the player with the most soul stones at the end of the game wins. —description from the publisher
