Nunki (Game)



Nunki is the first Bahá’í-Activity-Board-Game, where a number of teams can compete with each other. The objective of the game is to get all four game figures to the globe in the center. If time runs out, the team with the most game figures at the finish line is the winner. To move the game -figures on the board along their path to unity you’ll use knowledge, imagination and creativity. Teams move forward either by answering questions - some easy, some di cult – or by naming concepts based on the explanations, drawings and pantomime presentations of team members. There is currently an English/German version of the game available.

Storyline Many tribes and peoples believe there was one original human race. Over time, people migrated to all the four corners of the earth and became divided. Traditional prophecies of the Sumerian state that a day will come when a great and holy teacher will address all people and summon them to unite at NUNKI (heavenly place on earth). This day has now come, and the foundation for unity in diversity has been established. Now you and your team have the task of uniting the 4 different races participating in the game.

Objective of the game The team who first gets all four game figures to the globe in the center, wins the game.



Game Play Each Team has on „team figure“. Team figures consist of one figure type in four different colors. Team players take turns doing activities. The game proceeds always clockwise. Before each turn, the team decides which figure will be moved. To enter the playing field (highlighted in color), a question must be answered or an activity successfully done. If you want to play a figure in the game circle, you have to solve a task corresponding to the sign on which your game figure stays. To solve a matching task, each of the team members needs paper and pen. On the matching card there is a question or a task for which every member needs to write down 5 possible answers within one minute. When the time is up, compare answers. If there are at least two identical answers which all of the team members have written down, the team has solved the matching task and can move the figure to the globe. If you don’t solve the matching task, your figure remains at the matching field and is moved forward to reach the next matching field when your team solves a knowledge task or an activity task. Each figure can reach the finish line from a matching field - but not twice in succession from the same matching field.
