Liubo is an ancient Chinese board game originally played from about 500 BCE to 500 CE. The rules of the game have been lost to time, but our team is attempting to reconstruct the game based on what we do know. Today you will be helping us test our digital version of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goals for the project<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Reconstruct and playtest this \u201clost\u201d ancient board game, based on available artifacts, texts, records, English\/Chinese-language scholarship, consulting with experts, etc. \u2013 plus our team member’s own ideas about player experience and which version of the game seems the most fun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Create a digital method (a game, an app, etc.) to teach contemporary audiences how to play our proposed reconstruction of Liubo<\/em>. Also convey some of the history of the game and information about how it\u2019s been reconstructed. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Summary of the game<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
