Designer Spotlight Learn to Play: Days of Tet (Family Friendly)

  • Dogpatch Games 1095 Tennessee Street San Francisco, CA, 94107 United States (map)

This special Learn to Play highlights a locally designed game! The creator will be here teaching and discussing the game. This is a family friendly game, and each game is finished in under 20 minutes. Half off for families!

Days of Tết (also Gà và Nếp) is a family game for players to immerse themselves in the festivals (Tết) of Vietnam, as the 63 tiles on the board follow the chronological Lunar-Calendar year.

Designer’s Note

As the youngest child in the family, I always looked forward to those red-color calendar pages on the wall — the Tết holidays. Among them, Tết Trung Thu (Moon Festival) was the best. I got to eat mochi cakes filled with sweet lotus paste or grilled cakes packed with lạp xưởng and nuts. Tết Đoan Ngọ was another favorite. My mom would wake me up with a bowl of sticky rice in sweet liquor. She then told me that the bowl was to celebrate farmers exterminating pests in their rice fields. The amazing thing was that I could eat this dessert even before brushing my teeth!

Today, the Na Boardgames team proudly introduces another bilingual board game about all different Tết in Vietnam: Days of Tết (also Gà và Nếp).
