This story is part of our Hukou Series.
Functioning as a kind of internal passport for Chinese citizens, the hukou system brings a lot of red tape for anyone looking to move to a new city, transfer jobs or access benefits like education or healthcare in a first-tier city.
But just how restrictive is the little maroon book? We've created a game to show you how it works.
Instructions
1. To begin, each player rolls one die. If the result is a 1, 2 or 3, you were born with a rural hukou and must start on the RURAL PATH. If you roll a 4, 5 or 6, place your piece on the URBAN PATH (use a coin to mark your spot on the board).
2. Once each player has a piece on START, take turns rolling one die and moving ahead the number of spaces rolled. If you roll a 6, for example, move ahead 6 spaces.
3. When approaching the FINISH, you must land directly on the space to win. If you’re 4 spaces away from the FINISH and roll a 5, you must remain where you are and try to roll a 4 on your next turn.
4. The first player to land on the FINISH wins!
Players: 2-4
Estimated Play Time: 10 minutes
