Cang Jie is one of the legendary figures in ancient China. As legends foretold, he was inspired by the footprints of animals on the ground, and began to create all kinds of different symbols according to the forms of all things in nature, hoping to replace the conventional, yet unreliable, knot tying way of remembering things. For conveniences, Jie decides to name these symbols “Zi”, which means “character”. This is the origin of “Hanzi”, the “character from Han dynasty”.
In Hànzì, players travel back 3600 years and serve as one of the pupils of Master Cang Jie. As you learn from the Master, you will create new characters that serve as the foundation of modern Chinese culture.
In game terms, you lay out double-sided cards on the table that show the old letters on one side and the newer traditional letters on the other. On a turn, you choose a task card that shows a theme and score points by identifying two of the many kanji that match your theme from among the old letters. Whoever first earns ten points wins.

For sale: https://www.egdgames.com/producto/hanzi-segunda-mano/ Memori para estudiantes de chino con alguna que otra mecánica adicional en forma de catas de poder. Psaah... para lo que es no está mal, pero pese a sus esfuerzos, sigue siendo poco más que un memori.

This was interesting for the characters. Didn't care one bit about the special actions. In other words, I would play this again (once-ish), but I don't think it's a great game.

An intro memory game for learning modern Chinese with help from where the characters derive from. Perhaps I am not the target audience for this game since I am not actively trying to learn the language, but it is a nice memory game. Would be very useful for kids. I even felt like I learned a lot from just my one play so far!
