Features: The Manzu people, as a minority group that once ruled vast regions across China, have numerous unique game forms characteristic of their ethnicity. With the Manzu's entry into the Central Plains and their integration and exchange with other ethnic groups, many game forms from other cultures were incorporated into the Manzu people. While these "foreign" games cannot be considered representative of Manzu games, we cannot deny that their introduction greatly enriched the leisure lives of the Manzu people, creating a spectacular scene of gaming activities during their free time. Here, let us savor these interesting games together—perhaps you will fall in love with a few of them as well.
