Ekam

The card game where the gods are toddlers.

Ekam (एकम्, Sanskrit for “one”) is an UNO-style card game. Match colours and numbers, race to empty your hand, and call “Ekam!” on your last card, with sixteen Hindu deities drawn as playful, reverent toddlers on the cards.

The sixteen deities

Each deity is one card face, and every face comes in all four colours. The art follows a strict character guide: chibi proportions, big kind eyes, correct skin tones, and every iconic attribute in place, from Shiva’s trident to Krishna’s peacock feather. Nothing is ever shown defeated, crying, or in modern clothes.
