Usolli is a 1-4 player game designed for ages 10 and up, with a playtime of 20-40 minutes. The game thematically captures the experience of performing the five daily Salah (Islamic prayers) on time and with focus (Khusyu’). Players aim to collect beautifully hand-drawn cards representing each Salah, then strategically discard them to score points. Performing prayers on time and with Khusyu grants additional points. The player with the most points wins.

Setup

  • Salah cards: Place the Salah cards in the center of the playing area. Ensure all players have access to the various decks and components.
  • Place the round marker on the first Salah card.
  • Player Selection: Each player chooses a color and takes the corresponding player pieces.
  • Card Preparation: Shuffle the cards of any other decks as instructed in the rulebook. Please place them in their designated spots on the board.
  • Starting Resources: Distribute any starting resources or tokens to players as specified in the game instructions.
  • Determine First Player: Decide who will take the first turn, either randomly or by a method suggested in the rulebook.

How to Play

    Collecting Cards: Players move their pieces on the board to collect cards, which represent the five daily prayers.

    Performing Salah: To perform a Salah, players strategically discard the required combination of cards. Performing prayers on time and with Khusyu grants additional points.

    Event Cards: Be mindful of Event cards that can either aid or hinder your progress. These add an element of unpredictability to the game.

    Advanced Mode: For a more in-depth experience, the game offers an advanced mode. This includes Musafir cards that allow combining prayers, Sunnah prayer cards for bonus scoring, and special movement rules.

    Winning the Game: The game continues until a set condition is met, such as completing all five prayers. The player with the most points at the end is declared the winner.
