PROGRAM

Asia Series Vol.3: Malaysia Lecture “POLITIKO”

Lecturer, Concept: Mun Kao

POLITIKO is a political card game with satirical elements created by Mun Kao as part of an art project. Players choose one political party (political party cards) and utilize various strategies (scheme cards) to collect voters (voter cards.) Whoever collects the first eight voter cards wins. By incorporating a lecture into the game experience, the overall program fosters a deeper understanding of Malaysia, including the multi-ethnic nation's political situation, culture, and societal context.
