Singapore-Go is a Monopoly-style board game by SK Singapore that positions players as tourists exploring Singapore’s offerings. Players start from “Changi Airport” and make their way around the board according to dice throws whilst trying to complete their game cards by shopping, visiting tourist spots and collecting fun stars. This game features many of Singapore’s iconic sites including the Raffles Statue, National Museum, Botanic Gardens, Tiger Balm Gardens and Sentosa. It also references Singaporean experiences such as National Day, going to a hawker centre, entering a Restricted Zone with a vehicle and being fined for littering. The donor used to play this game with her family as a child.
