Aparna was an ideal historical consultant. Thoughtful, creative, and constructively critical at every turn. We were very lucky to be able to work with her. Thanks again to @mjsharafi for introducing us!

It was fun to work with @SaverioIV & @MathieuTheGrey on bringing this history alive beyond books and classrooms! Read more @scroll_in on Why a US maths professor created a board game about the medieval Deccan empires scroll.in/article/106404… @gmtgames @WilliamsCollege @HistoryEph
