Kulangsu Monopoly
An economic strategy board game set in Kulangsu’s International Settlement era (1903–1945): dual currencies, a hex map and real historical event cards. Every tile — Sunlight Rock, the Bagua Mansion, Shuzhuang Garden — carries the true story of a building and its people.

Every tile is real history
Every property is a real building: Sunlight Rock, where Koxinga drilled his navy three centuries ago; the Bagua Mansion, the “little White House” that bankrupted Lin Heshou; Shuzhuang Garden, built by Lin Erjia who refused to be a colonial subject after 1895; the Sugar King’s Huang Family Villa; the childhood home of Dr. Lin Qiaozhi, “mother of ten thousand babies”. Players don’t buy squares — they buy true lives.
