‘Bansan’ highlights the complicated web of relationships between vendors, customers, wholesalers and authorities in a wet market.

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.”
