The process of producing Kaki Lima

The production of Kaki Lima was not a smooth sail. It took two years for the game to be drafted, tried, and tested until it was finished. It took great experimental spirit and huge efforts to keep the production going. Locally in Malaysia, not many printing company provide services for the different type of needs, like hardcard, diecut, specific paper requirement and 3D props. The production team of Kaki Lima had to do almost all the work, including printing, supervising, cutting, and packaging. These tasks were tedious and fallible. As a result, the process had to be tinkered back and forth until the last moment before the launch.

Despite that, they believe that there is a bright future for local board games. Many outstanding local board games are produced independently. They are delicate and beautiful, serving as a channel for promoting cultures. Not only do these local board games allow the players to learn more about local culture and characteristics, but they can also stimulate thinking and bring back the glory of traditional cultures.

This fusion of culture, creativity, and product makes the board game an artistic form to retain traces of the ages. Not only does it reflect the small details of things that we see in our daily lives, but it also prolongs the life of the historical buildings in a different way and keeps on narrating the ancient tales.
