Description

In Hànzì, you'll travel back 3600 years and become a pupil of the legendary Master Cang Jie, who's credited with creating the characters that form the foundation of modern Chinese culture. As you learn from the Master, you'll create new characters and compete with your fellow pupils to earn the most points. The game is easy to learn, making it accessible to players of all skill levels, and can be played with 2 to 5 players in just 15 to 30 minutes. On each turn, you'll choose a task card with a theme and try to identify matching kanji characters from the old letters on the double-sided cards. The game requires pattern recognition and a bit of luck, as you push your luck to find the right characters and earn points. The first player to earn ten points wins, making Hànzì a fun and fast-paced game that's perfect for families, casual gamers, and anyone interested in mythology and culture.
