I was observing my younger cousins the other day and noticed they spend hours on mobile card games and strategy apps that originally came from outside India. It made me wonder how much the digital era has really changed the way kids and young adults engage with games. Are these games really becoming “Indian” just because everyone plays them locally, or is it more about convenience and social trends? I’m curious if anyone has seen patterns of how traditional games got replaced by digital versions over the last decade.

I came across an article that explains this transformation really well, and it helped me understand why these foreign games now feel so native in India https://opgram.com/how-a-foreign-game-became-more-indian-than-india/. In my own experience, when I tried introducing classic Indian board games to my cousins, they were initially interested but kept returning to the mobile versions because of the competitive and social aspects. So yes, the digital era definitely reshaped gaming habits, and while these imported games weren’t originally Indian, the way people play and interact with them locally makes them feel integrated into Indian culture.
