Ancient Indian board games, viz., Chess, Gyan Chaupar, Pachisi, Gunj, etc., have a deep connection with the Hindu mythology and its artistic style and form express the richness of cultural heritage. The present study focuses on how far board game has adopted mythology at the online platform in terms of visual content. We tried to portray the journey of traditional board games, their value system, format and teachings from ancient to present times—how far travelled, borrowed and enabled new digital media and interpreted it.
