Akoha players start with a deck of real-life missions, from sending someone a book to reading a new blog, thanking someone or sending someone flowers. When they complete their missions, they give the card to the receipient, who needs to pass it on. Players can track the progress of their missions and good deeds across the country.</p>
<p>I sent my first missions (which I got from <a href="http://www.gypsybandito.com/">Gypsy Bandito</a>&#8230; Akoha pay-it-forward magic in action!) to friends in distant states, to spread Akoha cards and coolness as far as I could.  Only one of them has been continued on, but it was a fun excuse to spread silly presents and share books. Like any social game, the coolness depends on the number of active players. Right now they&#8217;re still in beta so it&#8217;s a bit sparse, but it has the potential for a lot of chatter and connections.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to try out Akoha for yourself, you can order your own deck from their website, or you can leave a comment and you can be the recipient of one of my Akoha missions! (At least until I run out of cards!)</p>
