Jain Card Game

Jain card games fit in a pocket and fill the odd ten minutes: quiz decks with questions and answers on Jainism, matching and memory sets, fast-reaction games, a jeev vichar matching game, and mini fact cards for the smallest hands. Most work for two players or a whole table, so they suit a family evening as much as a pathshala break.

They are the easiest thing to pack for a yatra or a train journey, a common return gift at a child’s birthday, and pathshala teachers keep a few decks for the minutes before class starts.
