| Settlers of Catan卡坦岛 (kǎ tǎn dǎo) A classic board game found in student dorm buildings, family game cupboards and board game bars around the world. The beauty of this game for Chinese language beginners is its simplicity. To play, you really just need a good grasp of Chinese numbers and the Chinese names for the five valuable resources traded within the game: Brick: 砖块 (zhuānkuài) Timber: 木材 (mùcái) Wool: 羊毛 (yángmáo) Grain: 谷物 (gǔwù) Ore: 矿石 (kuàngshí)  Codenames 行动代号 (xíng dòng dài hào) Codenames is a relatively new game on the scene, and it’s totally based around providing and guessing verbal clues in pairs. Playing the Chinese version is a great way to improve your reading skills. The game can be adapted to suit various levels of Chinese ability. Top Tip: Once it’s your turn to provide clues to your partner, try referring to the radicals to guide him or her to the right cards – this is a trick which isn’t possible in the English language version! Carcassonne卡卡頌 (kǎ kǎ sòng) In a game of Carcassonne, the players create the board during gameplay by placing tile pieces into a sort of giant jigsaw. These tiles show a mixture of medieval landscape features such as walled cities (城堡 chéngbǎo), roads (道路 dàolù), cloisters (修道院 xiūdàoyuàn) and open grassland (草原 cǎoyuán). The rules of the game are simple, and at its most basic level it can be played with only the most rudimentary Chinese. Citadels 富饶之城 (fù ráo zhī chéng) A brilliant game for intermediate and advanced Chinese learners. The game is centred around role-playing eight different characters, who may choose to trade with, steal from or even murder fellow characters in the course of a game. The game is quick-moving and you’ll hear the same character names and actions coming up repeatedly throughout the game. The eight characters in the basic version are the following: Assassin: 刺客 ( cìkè) Thief: 盗贼 (dàozéi) Magician: 魔法师 (mófǎshī) King: 国王 (guówáng) Bishop: 主教 (zhǔjiào) Merchant: 商人 (shāngrén) Architect: 建筑师 (jiànzhùshī) Warlord: 领主 ( lǐngzhǔ) Pandemic 瘟疫危机 (wēn yì wēi jī) For those of you looking for a Chinese language challenge, look no further than a game of Pandemic. Unlike many Chinese board games, this one is cooperative, meaning that you need to work closely with your friends to “beat the board”. That means a lot of discussion of tactics as you decide how best to cure and prevent the spread of four deadly diseases. True to its name, the language of the game includes a lot of common medical vocabulary such as outbreak (爆发) and quarantine (检疫) #Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language  # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
