http://www.wanzhuoyou.com (Chinese: play board games) is a Chinese language site dedicated to introducing the latest board games abroad to Chinese gamers. We, the founders of this site are all fans of board games. We grouped together to make a site, introducing latest board game news, developers, publishers, designers, artists and stories behind the scene to our readers.
Playing board games is a new way of entertainment in China. Currently(Feb., 2010) there are over 700 board game cafes opened in Shanghai, not to mention those in other cities. Chinese market is booming and we would like to contribute to this industry. To shape this market better and healthy, we really need to let both board game cafe owners and the gamers know more behind the board game itself. They need to know more about this industry: the developer, publisher, the company, designers, artists, copyright issue etc. Since the booming of this new industry, more and more counterfeit version of the games can be found in Chinese market. We dislike this and we want the situation here a change.
We have good connections to the local board game cafes. We do cafe interviews for the shop owners and we also hold activities with them. They visit our sites to get the latest information and talk with us to know what new products should they purchase. Sometimes it’s a pain to select board games since there are hundreds of thousands of games out there. Companies, by cooperating with us, we can deliver your new product information in priority to these shop owners, to tell them how to play these games and enlarge the fan base of your products, directing them to purchase these games via official distribution channels. (You don’t need to worry about the language problem since the group of board gamers are all well educated, most of them can speak English.)
