    It would be a pity if TypesettingSG is lost. Wish that National Library can organise hands-on workshops about long forgotten trades to help young Singaporeans (especially those in primary schools) to appreciate our history instead of just focusing on collecting old books. It would make history come alive and less boring.

    I don't understand this trend. I'm sitting in front of my desktop looking at the monitor screen, and the host is looking at me and talking to me because I'm his target audience. However, suddenly, he turns to another direction and he's not looking at me but looking at and talking to someone I can't see. Nevertheless, at 1:47, I understand why he's not looking at me the audience because he's talking to someone else and I the audience an looking at two people talking to each other. Sometimes, the person is talking to the reporter who's sitting in front of him. I know what you'll say. But why is he talking to the cameraman? The camera is supposed to record his talking to the audience.

Then Singaporean Eurasians not of Malaccan descent claim those as theirs, even those of Malaccan ancestry barely acknowledge/mention their Malaccan origin 🙄 just like how "Singapore" Nyonyas claim Malacca Nyonya food when Nyonya have only been in Singapore since the 19th century and most of them come from Malacca. Go read D'Albuquerque's Children: Performing Tradition in Malaysia's Portuguese Settlement by Margaret Sarkissian on how non-Malaccan Portuguese Eurasians appropriated Malaccan Portuguese culture.

    ​​@@jamesng9811 Saying "they're all Eurasians" is the easiest and laziest way to dismiss the centuries old culture of Malaccan Portuguese originating from Malacca from its cuisine to its art. Eurasians like the Nyonya have only been in Singapore circa the 19th century, and many are from Malacca, bringing their culture along with them. Then Singapore shamelessly claimed "Malaccan Portuguese" and "Malaccan Nyonya" as theirs and "indigenous" to Singapore.

    Absolutely loved the video! It's amazing to see the wide variety of activities available in libraries nowadays. Personally, I really enjoy playing the Game of Scattergories, whether it's with a small group of friends or a large gathering. It brings out everyone's competitive side, and it's always entertaining to hear the "creative" answers people come up with. The premise of the game is simple: each player receives a category from a list of 12 categories-such as vegetables or things you throw away-and has to write down an item that fits each category. The twist is that each item must start with a specific letter, which is determined by rolling a 20-sided die. It's a fantastic way to exercise my thinking cap because the quicker you can think, the better you’ll do. Every serious game enthusiast should have Scattergories in their collection! It's versatile, allowing you to play for a short time or for hours, depending on your mood. Plus, there's no pressure-just pure fun!

    For me, it's "Dice Throne." This fast and strategic game of card play and dice manipulation is perfect for two to six players. It combines elements of dice rolling and card play, offering a mix of luck and strategy. This blend ensures variety while allowing players to influence outcomes through their decisions, and this balance therefore allows the game to appeal to different types of gamers. Plus, if you're (lazy) like me and prefer a game with minimal setup, "Dice Throne" is an ideal game as it's one of the easiest games to get to the table. Pull out the character sheets and boards, your plastic character trays and off to the races you go! In addition , the production quality of "Dice Throne" is top-notch, with detailed artwork, sturdy dice, and well-made components, enhancing the overall gaming experience and making the game visually appealing. Something I don’t hear often that is talked about board games is that it actually teaches us to be present in the moment, a valuable skill in today's digital age. Playing board games like "Dice Throne" forces me into a physical space with others, unlike video games, where I often play alone. At the table, sharing the gameplay with others brings me out of my own mind and into the present.Additionally, I love that "Dice Throne" has a strong community and has released several expansions and seasons, introducing new characters and mechanics. This ongoing support keeps the game fresh and continually evolving, providing players with new content to explore

    My favorite board game is, ironically, called "Pandemic." I received it as a gift during the circuit breaker to play with my family at home, and it was a surreal experience since the game's theme mirrored real life. At that time, COVID-19 felt like a virus poised to take over and disrupt our daily lives. Moreover the intensity of the game was heightened when we played it during lockdown as we had to focus on working together to find a strategy to eradicate diseases before it's too late . It taught us the importance of cooperation, as there's no individual winner or loser-either we all win, or we all lose together. This was the same in reality, where the pandemic's resolution depended on global cooperation; no matter how many vaccines one country had, the pandemic would not have ended as quickly without helping others. Even now that the pandemic is over I highly recommend this game,, because it's very well-balanced. The difficulty is customizable, making it accessible for beginners while still engaging for experts. It's a clever game that offers a refreshing change from many other board games, as it encourages collaboration rather than competition

    I simply love playing and learning different tabletop games and boardgames. One of my all-time favourite is the boardgame "Mysterium". Why? Firstly it is a cooperative game and I always favour and have a slight bias towards these over the competitive ones. Secondly, it is extremely easy for newcomers to learn - anyone can just sit down and start playing & all the rules can be explained in just a few minutes. Thirdly, it never gets old. We've been playing it on a regular basis for several years now and every time it is always something new. Fourthly, there are also tons of expansions for it in case the base game feels too small so there's always the surprise element. Lastly not forgetting the problem solving, teamwork, communication & creative thinking life skills we can all pick up while playing and having fun. Maybe NLB can consider including this in your arsenal of games. I'm looking forward to exploring new games and having a new gaming experience at the upcoming Tabletop Games Festival on 22 & 23 Jun 2024 🍀🙂❤

    I loved playing the board game "Guesstures" even now! it never gets boring or dull as its mostly a game that is reliant on what players do instead of the game controlling what you do with rules and restrictions, but guesstures is just charades with a twist. It is fast paced and chaotic (in a good way) as not only do players act out the words of the card but they also have to snatch the card or prevent the card from being taken by the guesser of the word. I always pull out this game to play with my nephews as it gives them the stage and space for freedom and expression via acting, and it forces them out of their shell. This is an awesome board game to pair with D&D which encourages verbal story telling, while Guesstures does the opposite which is no oral language at all. There are so many different things you can do in this game like adding our own challenges such as personalised buzzword, or setting a time limit which makes this a great bonding game amongst parent and child as the rules are straightforward, making it accessible to players of all ages and the difficulty can be adjusted through via so many ways, such as the time limit or word difficulty.

    I love playing Scrabble with my loved ones. I particularly enjoy the intellectual stimulation and strategic challenge it entails; getting a 7-letter bingo is now my personal goal in every game! It also continues to be one of my favourite ways to connect with and bond with my loved ones. I grew up playing mainly with my older sister. Since we were both fairly competitive, there were mainly heated matches - except, of course, when we teamed up to defeat our parents. I vividly remember lugging our massive Oxford Dictionary from the study room on several occasions to check if the words she formed were indeed real words. Needless to say, she helped me expand my vocabulary a fair bit! Over the years, things have changed - no more heavy dictionaries, for one! Now, our vocabularies are far richer and our games a lot calmer. Lately, I've also been playing Scrabble Junior with my nephew; it's fascinating to watch him strategise in an attempt to win. While I admire his natural aptitude, I've also been reminding him that it isn’t just about winning or losing. It’s also about the laughter, learning and love that we share while playing.

    As for me, I would choose the board game called Dixit . the reason being that this Dixit is a unique and imaginative game that incorporates creative and storytelling elements. this promotes creativity as Dixit encourages players to think outside the box and use their imagination to bluff their opponents and guess which image matches the story. i remember playing this when I was in primary school in class and we had so many lively arguments and interactions as my friends and I struggled to guess each others story as we always tried to read the other player and notice any clues they might be and call out their bluff or at times make up random things to support your stand on why the card is better. it also has a large deck of beautifully illustrated cards, which makes the storytelling more vivid.

    Ticket to Ride is probably my favourite, as it has simple rules and accessible to players of all ages. The game involves strategy and planning as players build railway routes across a map. I find it has educational value, teaching geography and requires strategic thinking, which can make it appealing. It also has colorful train pieces and an attractive board.

    My favorite board game is Monopoly. The thrill of strategizing to acquire prime properties, the excitement of building houses and hotels, and the challenge of negotiating trades make each game unique and engaging. The blend of luck and strategy keeps everyone on their toes, and the nostalgic value of playing a classic game with family and friends adds to the enjoyment. Monopoly's dynamic gameplay and opportunities for clever maneuvering make it my top choice.

    I've been playing scrabble for years and it's my favourite board game. The classic and timeless game, which is suitable for both young and old people, helps me strengthen my vocabulary and linguistic skills (e.g., anagramming, word patterns), cognitive skills (e.g., strategic thinking, memory recall), and spatial awareness (e.g., thinking spatially on where to place words on the board effectively).

    For me, "Connect 4" is a timeless favorite that never goes out of style! This iconic two-player game is perfect for kids, teenagers, and even adults. The rules of Connect 4 are straightforward, with its classic grid design being easy to understand. The gameplay is simple yet engaging, making it accessible for players of all ages. Despite its simplicity, Connect 4 offers significant strategic depth. Players must think ahead, anticipate their opponent’s moves, and plan their own strategies to block the opponent while trying to connect their own four discs. It also serves as a quick, stress-relieving game, with each round usually lasting less than 10 minutes.
