Kingmen: A Trip to Kinmen

A Monopoly-style board game from 1995 whose board is made up entirely of Kinmen. Players move around the squares buying and managing property; the rules are familiar to everyone, it is the map that is unusual.

Kinmen sits only a few kilometres off the coast of mainland China and spent decades as the most heavily fortified frontline in the Taiwan Strait. It opened to ordinary visitors only in the 1990s, so the game appeared exactly as a military zone was turning into somewhere you could take a trip - as the subtitle suggests.

In subject matter it is among the most locally specific games ever released in Taiwan. On OldGame.cz you can play it right in your browser.
