Prologue
The minute you choose to play Mawala - The board game, you play as one of the Swarajya warriors accompanying Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj from his birth to Rajyabhishek. You don't play against the other player; players as Swarajya Warriors are together in this journey. The destination is Rajyabhishek.
You are to reach there and submit your earnings to Swarajya. Whoever submits more earns greater honor during the ceremony and hence wins!
Elements of the game
Board
The game has 100 places which actually are the events that had happened in Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s life arranged in chronological order.
Dice

Mawala Cards
You get accompanied by real superheroes from our history – the Swarajyawarriors. A deck of 22 warrior cards is provided with the game. Red dice will help you get these real warriors to accompany you. The events where they had really contributed, will help you earn more.

Hones
The game has ancient currency Hone. Landing on places where we had won, Mawala gets rewarded by the number of hones mentioned on the respective place. Landing on places of setbacks, Mawala pays back to the bank of Swarajya. There are three denominations given for the convenience.
Fort Cards
You also get benefited by becoming caretaker of 10 forts during this journey. A deck of 10 forts is provided with the game. Red dice will help you get charge of these forts. Landing on victorious events that had happened on these forts will help you earn more.

Signs on The Board
Wages
Shivaji Maharaj was very particular about timely salaries of soldiers serving in our army.
On our board since players are actual warriors of Swarajya, they too are liable to get paid on time. So, every time a player lands on or crosses the Wages sign, he/she will get 200 Hones as salary.
Orange Band
The orange collar on the places implies a positive event during this quest of Swarajya!
Grey Band
The grey collar on the places implies a negative event during this quest of Swarajya!
Navy Blue Band
The navy blue collar on the places implies the places where we had lost a Swarajya Warrior while fighting!
Red Colored Places
The red coloured places on the board imply stoppage points. There are three stoppage points on the board. These are unmissable events. Players irrespective of the numbers on the dice will have to stop at these places.
