A new board game from Taiwan called '2045' simulates a potential Chinese invasion of the island in 20 years, inviting players to experience the complexities of war.
A new board game set against the backdrop of armed conflict around Taiwan is set to be released in January 2025, amid renewed threats from Beijing. The game, called '2045', by Taiwan ese board game maker Mizo Games, invites players to participate in an imaginary Chinese invasion 20 years from now. China has ramped up military activity close to democratically governed Taiwan in recent years, including massing naval forces around the island this month.
The game tasks gamers with navigating the troubles of war by using colourful action cards, and role-playing characters involved in operations 10 days before a fictional Chinese invasion of Taiwan. That includes members of Taiwan’s armed forces, Chinese sleeper agents and pro-China politicians working to sabotage the island’s defence, as well as citizens picking up guns to defend their homeland. China claims Taiwan as its own and has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under its control. Taiwan’s president and his government strongly object to China’s sovereignty claims and say only the island’s people can decide their future. Mizo Games started crowdfunding the game in August. Within two-and-a-half-months, the company had received more than TW$4 million to fund the project
