GANJIFA: INDIAN PLAYING CARDS

Ganjifa cards have been around for centuries in India and Persia, but they are relatively new to the West. Ganjifa cards are round playing cards, numbered 1-10 with two face cards: the Raja (King) and the Vizier (Minister). There are 8 suits in the Mughal version which makes 96 cards in all. Ganjifa cards are traditionally hand painted and the rules for games are passed down from one generation to the next. This second printing of Tab Creation’s Mughal Ganjifa deck includes high quality cards with the rules for seven games total, including four historical and three unique games.
