In the board game Shasn, you don’t win by chance or luck. You strategise every move. Creator Zain Memon tells us, “It is a political strategy game where everyone is a politician campaigning for an upcoming election. At the heart of it, it is a competitive game that requires a deep level of strategic thinking which we created to facilitate a healthy way to have political conversations while having fun.” After their first nationwide tournament in 2019, the Shasn Cup is back for its second edition where six gaming events across 45 days will be held in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Ahmedabad. The Mumbai leg of the tournament will be held over the next three Thursdays from October 5 onwards.
