[Reading Notes] Not Just Childhood Memories, but the Records and Wisdom of an Era - "Taiwan Old Board Game"

These old games may not be serious historical materials, but for the children of the year, they are full of joy. In my opinion, they are a record of the history of Taiwanese life and entertainment, and the relevant images and oral materials clearly point out the fact that children played these games in those days.

Board games can be said to be the most popular leisure activity among young people in the past 10 years. With the beginning of some spare money, collecting board games related to Taiwanese culture has also become a hobby of the author. "The Worker", an exquisite "Taiwan-style board game" produced by Shin Lee Co., Ltd., is my favorite work. For the author, Taiwanese board games seem to be born out of nowhere. If you really want to think about the board games that you have played in the past, there is probably only "Monopoly" until this work completed by board game collectors appeared in the author's On the recommended purchase list, this myth is completely broken.

Taiwan used to be a big country in board games

"Taiwan Old Board Games: From Monopoly, Dr. Turtle's Enrollment, to Tiandi Brand and Speeding Dragon and Tiger Fight, Complete Collection of Nostalgic and Precious Old Games" is the brainchild of Taiwanese board game expert Chen Jieyu's research for more than 20 years. You can see how rich the content is, and it can even be called the "encyclopedia" of Taiwanese board games. Classified by gameplay and props, "Taiwan Old Board Games" includes more than 100 Taiwanese local board games, with detailed game descriptions and coloring pictures, bringing readers back to the glorious days of board games.

In addition, the most talked about is those dirty chance and destiny cards with a sense of the times. For example, "shoot down the CCP MiG machine" is the most rewarding opportunity card, showing the situation of hostility between the two sides of the strait; "paying a deposit to study in the United States" and "getting a scholarship to the University of Washington in the United States" can imagine the trend of studying in the United States; " "The Five Prizes in the Patriotic Lottery" also reminds people of the era when the patriotic lottery was popular; "Being a quilt" surprises modern people that quilts could also be pawned in the past.

Not just a game, but an alternative document that records the background of the times

Including monopoly "documents" who played from childhood to adulthood without thinking carefully, these old board games are not only entertainment, but also reflect the history, social atmosphere at that time, and even smash hit stars. In addition to Shi Yanwen, Saint Seiya, etc., even Zhang Xiaoyan was once the protagonist of board games, and even Zhang Yusheng's military affairs can be made into board games, which is an eye-opener for the author. Although some works showed that the concept of intellectual property was still insufficient at that time, there were also excellent works full of originality.

Although most of the games are very old, and some of them are not even playable, it is commendable that the author still had the honor to meet with several of the game designers, and the interview process and dialogue are also included in this book. On the back of the book cover, there is even a simple old board game, so that readers can understand their desire to try something new or nostalgic.

In addition to evoking the memories of the older generation of readers, just like the "Unwilling Movie History: Once, Taiwan Had a Hollywood" introduced in the past, "Taiwan Old Board Game" also allows the younger generation of readers to understand all the past board games in Taiwan. The glorious years passed. With the emergence of more and more interesting board game works in Taiwan, I believe that the emergence of this book can also stimulate more creativity, and the author also hopes that manufacturers can reproduce the wisdom of these predecessors, so that modern people can also Have a taste of the fun of "ancient board games".
