Anyone who has ever attempted ‘fill in the blanks’ in school can pick this up instantly; it is literally that, but for adults,” reveals Karan Dilip Worah, co-creator  of Cards vs Sanskaar. He adds that the game was produced with the aim of being able to poke light-hearted fun at topics which are typically considered taboo. And so, the content is a healthy mix of cultural quips, nostalgia, Bollywood and politics.
