INDIA---A strategy card game, unique for being based on Hindu mythology, has recently hit the market, capturing the attention of a sizable number of gamers, says IANS.
Maha Yodha, or great warrior, is the name of the card game described by its co-creator,
Sagar Shankar, as an “epic battle-themed strategic card game based on stories from Hindu mythology.” It is a two-deck set of 42 cards each, divided between the “Aditya” and “Asura” factions of gods and demons who battle each other with their legendary weapons and magic scrolls, all represented in the cards. The imagery on the cards uses Odisha’s famed Pattachitra art form, modernized by game designer and co-founder Chandan Mohanty. This is the first Indian game to be funded through the
Kickstarter crowd funding platform for projects, Maha Yodha co-creator Sagar Shankar told IANS. [
