Jodhpur, Rajasthan: The credit behind developing the brilliantly articulated Board game, Shastranga – Untold Secrets, goes to Mr. Triveen Nair.

Shastranga is his second project in the line of success. His first project was historical fiction and a thriller genre book called “Land and Seekers”. The book talks about a least mentioned but the most significant year in Indian history-death of three Indian kings under mysterious circumstances following events that took place in 1766. Not only that, the fiction takes you from the Thar Desert and Calcutta to Oman, Venice, and Zanzibar.

 However, continuing his legacy of successful projects, the Shastranga board game is getting officially launched in September 2022 on Vishwakarma Jayanti. The richest of India are waiting for this board game to include among their valuable possessions. This limited edition game has just 400 Playing Boards available worldwide with 4 copyrighted design alterations. The game will be accessible only on an invitation basis.

 A fantastic treasure of knowledge and fun has a new name, the Shastranga, a tabletop board game. This modern-age game has blown many minds and grabbed attention all around the world. The presence of stars, planets, and the sky is found in both astrology and astronomy. These distinctive sciences are present in ancient Indian traditions. Shastranga brings you an unimaginable journey of stars by beautifully blending both these genres together.

Shastranga is a masterpiece in a true sense, as it is not just limited to combining astrology and astronomy, but it adds an essence of art and design to it.

And yes, the greatest part about this game is that you do not need to be an expert in either astrology or astronomy while playing this game.
