The Vietnam Game and Gift Culture Festival 2025 with the theme "Quintessence of Vietnamese Creativity" took place on September 13-14 at Ho Chi Minh City Book Street, creating a vibrant creative space where the community of artisans, businesses and the public spread Vietnamese cultural values.

Representative of the game creation community, Ms. Tue Man, co-founder of Ngu Hanh Games, shared: "At first, many people doubted that the Vietnamese cultural theme would be difficult to compete, but the unique cultural features became the biggest difference, turning Vietnamese board games into 'hidden gems' in the international market, typically "Du Ky" and "Hoi Pho" have been exported to many Asian countries and are preparing to launch in Europe."
