Jain Games

Jain games teach what a lecture cannot: a child who has raced through a snakes-and-ladders of karma, matched the lanchans of the 24 Tirthankars or called a housie of the great tirths carries the names for life. The range covers board games on the journey of the soul and the steps of puja, card games of matching, memory and fast reaction, housie editions for a hall full of players, jigsaw puzzles of the tirths, dominoes, quiz games with a quizmaster, and games built around a single sutra so it is learnt by heart while playing.

Most suit ages three and up and work for two players at home or thirty at pathshala. Families buy them for a rainy afternoon, a yatra journey or a birthday, and sanghs order them in quantity as prizes for a fun fair, a shibir or a Mahavir Jayanti programme.
