Board game ‘Bansan’ aims to preserve wet market culture

Charis Loke and Goh Choon Ean are two of the many minds behind Bansan.

In an effort to preserve this integral part of local culture, one Penang-based community art group has turned morning shopping at wet markets into a board game.The game sees players taking on the role of market vendors who must trade with each other. This is not the first game that Arts-Ed has produced which takes inspiration from local culture. Its first board game, “Kaki Lima”, is based on an appreciation of George Town’s historically unique five-foot ways.

Goh also designed Kaki Lima. She noted that many popular board games highlighted cultures from around the world. “So one of the things I wanted to do was to create a game showcasing Malaysian culture. It also reflects on Asian culture as a whole.”
