2025 · King and the Pawn Games
The zodiac animals are celebrating Chinese New Year, buying festive treats and exchanging red envelopes. Who will offer the tastiest treats to receive the most money in their red envelopes?
In the highly interactive game of "Fú: Red Envelopes", compete to score the most Fortune ("fú") by receiving visitors and eating festive treats. Each game takes place over several years, split into phases mirroring the experience of a traditional Chinese New Year celebration.
Shopping: Send your family members to buy festive treats or decorations as you prepare to host visitors over the new year. The catch? You don't get to eat your own treats! Treats are offered to entice other players to your home, hopefully with more money in their red envelopes!
Visiting: Simultaneously and secretly fill your red envelopes with money to visit other players, and bid for the treats on offer at other players' homes. The catch? Players score "fú" for each visitor they receive. Can you eat enough treats at each host to justify the "fú" they score from your visit?
Eating: Feast on your favorite treats at each home - the most generous visitors get first dibs! The catch? You only score "fú" by eating the right combination of treats. Can you change your strategy on the fly as other players beat you to the last mandarin orange?
