Board game clubs flooding Guangzhou

Updated:2009-09-03 15:38:27 Source: Lifeofguangzhou.com

Having been popular for several decades in Europe and the Americas, board games finally spread to Guangzhou sometime in 2007. Now, board games are one of the most fashionable community activities for young white collar workers. Most of the games and pieces are exported from abroad so one may easily find games that are familiar, such as Scrabble and Monopoly. However, some Chinese characteristics have been incorporated to create the latest games.

One example, "Sanguosha" is a card game combining the features of "Bang!" and "Killer" (two popular Chinese role playing games) but the background story is set in the Three Kingdom Period (AD 220-280,) during which numerous wars were fought among different warlords.

Similar to the four roles of Bang! - Sanguosha has the Loyal Official, the King, the Cunning Official and the Rebel. Every role has a historical prototype therefore players are allowed to use cards for various functions according to their roles in the game.

The first board game club, BG-CLUB, was opened at Fazheng Lu. It now has six more branches throughout the city. Currently, 40-50 board game clubs can be found around Guangzhou.
