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.

藉由甲骨文的圖像讓學生猜猜看,玩家也可以藉由任務卡中的提示尋找,不過遊戲的變化比較小,玩家在經過多次的遊玩後容易將大部分的圖形記憶下來,降低遊戲的彈性和困難度

Fairly light memory game with educational theme mixed in with some minor game elements. Fun for classrooms and younger audiences, though the game would need more cards expansions and some additional mechanics to improve replayability. Great theme and good content for those interested in learning a little about Chinese!

Fun enough for a couple plays, but if you play enough times (or you just know the characters) you start to remember which characters are which and it becomes a long term memory game instead of a short term one. Not enough legs to stick around.
