Tabarruk Trail Board Game: An Arbaeen Journey - Print & Play
Join millions of pilgrims in spirit as you walk from Najaf to Karbala in Tabarruk Trail: An Arbaeen Journey. Designed for children and families, this engaging board game introduces the values and experiences of the Arbaeen ziyarah in a way that’s fun, educational, and spiritually rich.
Players stop at five mowkibs (service stations), collect meaningful tabarruk (gifts), perform good deeds through A’mal cards, and help fellow travelers along the way. With every step children practice generosity, hospitality, patience, and love for Imam Husayn (a)—the very values that define the Arbaeen pilgrimage.
Whether you’re preparing for Muharram, teaching ziyarah etiquette, or simply looking for a family game with purpose, Tabarruk Trail: An Arbaeen Journey, offers an unforgettable path of faith and connection.
Includes:
Game board with 5 Mowkib locations
4 Character pieces + Backpack cards
20 Tabarruk Tokens
20 A’mal Cards
Easy-to-follow instructions + Parent guide
You will need a spinner or a way to get the numbers 1, 2, or 3, equally randomly (i.e., random number generator, dice, etc)
Recommended for ages 3+ | 2–4 players | Playtime: 15-30 mins
Bring the journey to Karbala to life—one step at a time.
Print & Play Instructions:
For the best experience, we recommend printing the game in color on cardstock. A black and white version is also included.
You’ll find two print board size options:
A small 8 × 8 inch version (fitted to 8.5 x 11 inch paper)
A larger 16 x 16 inch version (using 4 sheets of paper/cardstock) for a more spacious and easy-to-play layout
Choose the format that works best for your materials!
While the instructions are included in the Print & Play, you can download the instructions to print like a booklet (for free) if you have a double sided printer, print on ‘double sided short edge’ at meccallc.com/shop/p/arbaeengame-instructions
Add to your cart with this one, so you don’t have to checkout twice!
