In India, card games are extremely popular, especially among families at social gatherings, on vacations, during festivals like Diwali, at wedding events, and just as a casual means of passing time.

Players catering to this market are constantly investing in introducing new and unique card games and board games to lure more customers.
In August 2020, 55 Indian artists came together as part of the Cards for a Cause project and launched a deck of pandemic-inspired playing cards. The organizers of the project teamed up with NGO Give India to donate the profits to a campaign called India Fights Corona. For every deck of cards sold, 10 meals are donated.
Every artist involved in the project had their own take on the pandemic and isolation and this was depicted in their trademark style. For instance, the train featured on the 10 of Spades is a reference to how the Indian Railways turned train coaches into isolation wards for the first time in history.
