Apart from the word-guessing card game Taboo, no other group or board game has, in several years, managed to get us to really sit down and play. In our mid 30s now, where juggling work and life already seems daunting, playing a game of saanp seedi, carrom or even ludo means carving out time. And is there enough time for anything, ever?
Reviewing the just-launched board game Ranbhoomi Kurukshetra, which attempts to simulate the events of the Kurukshetra war from the epic Mahabharat was a good excuse for the entire Sunday mid-day team to take a break from filing and editing. We focused on boardgame strategy for a change, and it was fun.
