About this game

Ganjifa (गंजीफा) is one of humanity's oldest card games — played by royal courts across Asia for over 600 years. Now it lives in your pocket.

🎴 **10 SACRED DECKS**
Each deck is a work of art drawn from a distinct mythology or tradition:

• **Dashavatara** — The 10 Avatars of Vishnu across 120 devotional cards
• **Navagraha** — The 9 celestial planets of Vedic astrology
• **Rashi** — The 12 zodiac signs of the Indian calendar
• **Ramayana** — Epic heroes and demons from the great Hindu saga
• **Norse** — Odin, Thor, Loki, and the Aesir gods
• **Greek** — Olympian deities in a 12-suit deck
• **Egyptian** — Ancient gods of the Nile: Ra, Isis, Anubis
• **Maya** — Mesoamerican deities and calendar spirits
• **Ashtadikpala** — The 8 Hindu guardians of the cardinal directions

🏆 **AUTHENTIC GAMEPLAY**
