Abstract

This article describes different views and social needs expressed by the Chinese younger generation who are familiar with online or offline board games. The study targets werewolf killing, which is favoured by Chinese largest game publishers, as the main board game. It contains multiple dimensions to show the social goals and sense of achievement from the relatively young players. The main research methods are parallel designed semi-structured interviews. The main content comes from the interviewees’ actual activities and behavioural habits, which talks about the experience or the imagined experiences of their games. It is argued that the online board game, like Werewolf Killing, plays an important role in defining the social identity of the younger Chinese generation.
