About this board game

Taiwan Night Market is a street-food competition for 2–5 players that takes about 80 minutes to play. As an ambitious vendor, you will bid for locations on the map, open stalls, attract customers, and compete to finish with the most money.

Each round begins with a contest for the market’s available locations. Choosing where to bid is crucial: the spaces you secure determine the traffic of customers and the opportunities available to your stalls. Bidding the right amount is just as important as claiming a desirable spot.

Once you have your locations, open stalls featuring four types of food and drink. Connecting stalls of the same type together can make them earn more, giving your growing market a stronger chance to profit. Carefully consider how your stalls fit together as you develop your position on the map.

Then the customers arrive. They move through the market and buy the food they want from the first available stall they encounter. Location, stall placement, and the types of food you offer all matter as you try to turn customer traffic into income.

  • Bid on locations every round.
  • Open stalls across four food and drink types.
  • Connect matching stalls to increase their earnings.
  • Serve customers at the first available stall they encounter.
  • Finish with the most money to win.

In Taiwan Night Market, every decision can shape the flow of customers and the value of your stalls. Outwit your competitors, build an appealing network of food and drink, and aim to become the king of the night market vendors.
