If you are interested in board game sessions in French or English, around 
Hanoi, do not hesitate to contact-us! Let's learn through play!
Knights increase your landholdings as you try to have the largest kingdom.
One passion chases the other, and that of playing is the first of all: love and ambition fade as we age, playing grows green again when everything else happens.

Dune.
A masterful work, adapted into a board game. One of the best worker placement games (Agent placement in this case) I've ever played. Everything is political; even battles aren't about conquest or liberating land from the opposition—they're simply about flexing muscles and gaining influence.
It's a complex game with intricate and subtle rules, not entirely suitable for boys. But! I anticipated this and made myself a list in Vietnamese of the necessary vocabulary: leader, influence, send an agent on a mission, spice harvest, etc. Needless to say, they made fun of my accent, but for once, I was able to clearly explain a concept or action in Vietnamese, after the bewildered looks they gave me when I explained it in French.
And in the end, they played very well. Of course, it's a long game, and after an hour, they'll be checking what's under the couch when it's not their turn.
We're starting to reach the end of this year's new games. Nguyen insisted we play Warcraft (again) next week. So I gave them homework: watch the Lich King cinematics on YouTube to get in the mood.
