Production Quality: 9/10- The production quality is top-notch. The most striking feature is the box itself, which looks and feels gorgeous.- The board and player mats are made of high-quality cardboard and all the cards are very good to the touch.- The resources and voter tokens are made of sturdy cardboard with a polished finish.- Note that this edition does not have voter pegs or a double-layered board. That comes with the more expensive Presidential Edition (which is a true 10/10)Gameplay: 10/10- Shasn is a truly addictive game. In my opinion, this is the best Indian board game on the market. Compared to other Indian board games which feel a little simplistic and dumbed down, Shasn feels more intelligent and feels topical every time I have played it.- The core mechanics of the game are area control and resource management. You earn resources by answering policy cards and trade resources with other players so you can buy voters. This is where a lot of fun trading and bartering happens. You put down voters in different areas to capture them. This is where intense competition comes in.- Conspiracy and Headline cards create a lot of intrigue and provide just the right sprinkle of luck and chance, while keeping the game largely strategic.Art and Presentation: 9.5/10- This is the one of the most beautiful games in my collection and I keep it on display at the top.- The box art is modern and gorgeous. The typeface and graphic design is sleek.- The character illustrations of the Capitalist, Idealist etc. are also very aesthetic.Support: 10/10- The customer support and support team is very responsive. I have messaged them on Instagram and gotten speedy responses.- The Shasn whatsapp community is incredible. All game related questions and doubts will get answered by other players almost instantly. You can also find other players in your city to organize games.There is also a good How to Play video that teaches the game clearly and comfortably.Cons:- You have to set some time aside to learn the game. But once you learn, it's pretty straightforward.- The games are 2-3 hours long usually.Overall: 9.5/10- No game is perfect, but Shasn comes pretty close. I’ve already spent around 20+ hours with my copy of Shasn and am still hungry for more. Highly recommend it.

The cards got a little damaged during shipment. Nothing bad, but maybe the shipment can be improved by Amazon. The game is brilliant and I am really excited about playing with a larger group of friends.

I have never been a hard-core board game lover, but Shasn has totally changed my perception. This game is a masterpiece, especially for those who are politically opinionated. The level of personalization for the Indian audience is commendable. Every single card has been carefully thought out, reflecting deep insights into our political and social landscape.At first, the game can be quite challenging to grasp due to its complexity, but that is what makes it so captivating. Once you get the hang of it, it's not easy to step out of the loop. You go through a whirlwind of emotions throughout the course of the game, making every session with friends or family a unique experience.One of the things I absolutely love about Shasn is the attention to detail. The makers have ensured that even the small components, like providing good quality Ziploc bags to store the tiny pieces separately, are top-notch. This level of detail enhances the overall gameplay experience, making it more organised and enjoyable.

A Political Strategist’s Dream!It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an innovative board game like this. Brilliantly captures the mindset of a political strategist—every choice feels like it’s building towards something bigger, an overarching plan that’s uniquely yours. The way the game flows makes you feel deeply involved in every decision, like you’re running your own campaign.On top of that, it’s just plain fun. Once you get into the groove, time flies, and before you know it, you’re completely absorbed. The build quality is impressive too. It seems like the makers really spent time on making the game beautiful for their customers. I’ve seen other games charge the same money, and they have very few components compared to this one, and their quality isn’t very good either. Overall, Shasn delivers on its promise well.

It is a good game but it is very time consuming. Also, it is very difficult to get started. Not for teenagers or old folks.
