Melaka: The Forgotten Empire társasjáték

Angol leírás

Melaka: The Forgotten Empire invites players into the rise and fall of the Malacca Sultanate in 15th century, one of Southeast Asia's most influential maritime trading powers. In this historical strategy board game, players navigate politics, trade, diplomacy, and territorial expansion to build influence, accumulate wealth, and secure their legacy within the empire.

Players make strategic decisions involving resource management, provincial influence, and the Sultan's decrees (Titah Sultan). Through Takluk (conquest) and Jelajah (exploration), they expand their influence across provinces while adapting to historical events that reshape the political and economic landscape.

Beginning in the fourth round, players can select influential historical characters, including Tun Perak, Hang Tuah, and Hang Jebat, each offering unique abilities and strategic advantages. As the game progresses, shifting alliances, competing ambitions, and the approaching Portuguese invasion introduce new challenges and opportunities.

The game unfolds over nine rounds with three scoring phases, during which players collect Victory Points (VP) based on their achievements and strategic positions. Balancing immediate gains with long-term planning is essential to victory. Melaka: The Forgotten Empire is an unpublished, advanced-stage prototype by Malaysian game design studio FnD mindspot and a Top 3 finalist in the Zenobia Award II.
