The Bad Karmas and The Curse of the Zodiac

Players control a cast of predestined heroes who cooperate to confront twelve colossal, AI-driven demigod bosses known as the Zodiacs. Each encounter plays out on a unique tactical map with distinct environmental hazards and objectives; the companion app runs boss AI, story narration, effects, and rule resolution so the table focuses on tactics and teamwork. Heroes fill classic combat roles—tank, healer/support, ranged specialist, and high-mobility rogue—and must coordinate positioning, timing, and abilities to overcome varied boss behaviors such as area attacks, battlefield manipulation, dual targets, and trapping maneuvers. Scenarios form a narrative campaign across multiple maps, with smart miniatures and environment standees representing the bosses and heroes.
