A board game inspired by local market culture in Malaysia
Ages 10+. 30-50 minutes playtime. 1-5 players.
Bansan (萬山, meaning ‘local wet market’ in the Northern Peninsular Hokkien dialect) is a board game inspired by the multisensory experience of a bustling Malaysian market.
Players become market vendors who juggle multiple roles—deal with wholesalers and customers, buy and sell ingredients, cook and serve authentic Malaysian food—“bao ka liao”! Navigate the intricate relationships of a local market as you interact with fellow vendors, customers, wholesalers, and municipal council officers.
Taste the chaos and excitement of a pasar as festivals, government policies, and other events come into play!
