Check out the new review from thekoreanmeeple

Restoration is gorgeous, genuinely fun, and delivers an impressive crunch for its playtime with minimal setup. The mixture of mechanics gave it a refreshing feeling while still feeling familiar. www.instagram.com/p/Ddg1lrxEef...

I crowdfunded $7,000 for my first Euro game in Vietnam - The game name is Restoration. 🇻🇳🎲

It wasn’t a huge campaign by global crowdfunding standards but it taught me more than I expected. Here are some things I learned.

What’s one thing you wish you knew before launching your first game?

Experience Southeast Asian architecture through a board game? 🏛️🎲

Restoration brings the beauty of Vietnamese and Southeast Asian architecture to the tabletop inspired by the restoration of Huế’s Kiến Trung Palace.

Follow Ngũ Hành Games to see how we turn Vietnamese culture into board games. 🇻🇳✨

From Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi and beyond, Vietnam has a growing board game café scene and we’re incredibly grateful that so many local cafés have supported Ngũ Hành Games by bringing our games to their tables.

And if your local café carries our games, tag us  we’d love to see you playing! 💛

Nothing humbles you faster than explaining your own board game to someone who has never played one. 😂

Sometimes they just look you dead in the eye.
Sometimes, after one sentence, they go, “Wow…” 😭

But honestly, at the end of the day, I treasure every newcomer to this hobby.

📢 Restoration Stock Update for TOBE

Hi friends in Taipei! 🇹🇼

We have a quick announcement before TOBE. Due to the skyrocketing international shipping costs, which have continued to increase over the past few months, we're sorry to say that we won't be able to bring as many copies of Restoration

Apparently, there’s no cure for my Vietnamese addiction. 🇻🇳

So I guess I’ll just keep treating it with:
☕ Vietnamese coffee
🎲 Vietnamese-themed board games
🍜 Phở

Honestly… sounds like a pretty good treatment plan to me. 😂

What would you add to the list?

🇻🇳 Allow me to introduce you to one of the easiest ways to discover Vietnamese culture: playing a board game. 🎲

And honestly, learning about culture is more fun when someone is trying to steal your resources. 😂

Vietnam’s board game scene works a little differently. 🎲🇻🇳

For a small and developing market, you have to get creative. 😅

What’s one thing about your local board game scene that would surprise people?

📖 The part of my day that definitely never makes it to Instagram:

Reviewing and rewriting the rulebook. It’s probably one of the least exciting parts of being a board game designer—but one of the most important.

Because a great game can still feel terrible if the rules are confusing
