A board game, inspired by a film on Arvind Kejriwal, offers a close look at Indian politics

Board game devotees now have a game that trumps the luck factor and lets them experience the dark, unpredictable world of politics. Shasn (Sanskrit for governance), which simulates elections, is being launched in India and the US today (July 16) by the Goa-based film studio Memesys Culture Lab. For Zain Memon, the co-founder of Memesys, the launch marks the culmination of an idea that germinated in 2017, when his studio created the documentary An Insignificant Man, on the rise of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) politician and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.
