Description

Chinese Champions

Chinese Champions is a Mandarin Chinese language card game that challenges you to enrich your vocabulary. In this game, players unlock and command powerful weapons, monsters, characters, and locations by memorizing their names. Every card clearly shows an English word, its simplified Chinese character translation, and the pinyin pronunciation guide for those characters. If you can remember a card’s name, you can use it to fight; if you can’t, you lose it!

Chinese Champions language card game combines the strategy of a competitive trading card game with language learning! Players can choose which vocabulary words and which creatures to include in their deck based on their strategy and what they personally want to learn. Every card has a unique rule and ability, so players can collect and trade them in order to build one-of-a-kind decks.

The learning curve for this game is a little bit higher than most language card games on the market, but the challenge, strategy, and replay value are also higher as a result. To fully support my customers on their language learning journey, I publish youtube videos (with game tutorials and pronunciation lessons) and PDF rulebooks packed with valuable bonus content.

In China, Matthew Boyle and Helen Liu (a native Chinese speaker and teacher) created all the artwork for Chinese Champions by paper cutting, carried out the translation work, and, of course, designed the rules. We can’t wait for you to join the ranks of excited players currently using this game to hack Chinese!

Chinese Champions 1 Testimonials

 

“I got these as a birthday present for my nephew. Thank you for your excellent service and game design!”

-Melanie, USA

 

“I have received both orders [Chinese Champions 1 and Language Guardians] and I really appreciate it! Your communication and customer service is top notch. I have recently relocated to China. I am currently teaching all ages English and I have found that my older teenage students thoroughly enjoy playing Language Guardians! It turns an otherwise difficult to elicit group into a chatty, giggling, and slightly competitive one. It’s tremendous! I have yet to play the Chinese Champions game. However, my company provides free Chinese lessons taught by our locally employed English teachers and I hope to be able to try it in class with my other colleagues. I will let you know how it goes! Thanks so much for the versatile language games! Very creative stuff.”

-Sam, Teacher, USA

 

“I’ve been thinking to host some game nights recently, so I would like to try Chinese Champions. I know some friends from different language learning levels and I have a game like UNO already, so I want to try something different. I like your games because they are unique and the pictures look so beautiful. I hope you will organize some events for people to play together in your area. Though it can be hard to get people together to play in real life, I agree with you that it is the best way.”

-Rilke, China

 

“I got the cards and started playing with my son who is bilingual and starting to read English, so it works well, I practice Chinese with him and he practices reading the cards in English.”

-Kevin, Founder of WordSwing, USA

 

“Just got my Chinese Champions card game! Can’t wait to play and learn more characters. Amazing, fast delivery. The illustrations are so good.”

-Cirma, Teacher, UK

 

“No better way to start the weekend than with a bit of durian/榴莲/liúlián and some Chinese Champions with friends to supplement vocab.”

-Marcus, Teacher, USA

 

Chinese Champions 2 Testimonials

“I bought these as a Christmas gift for my Dutch boyfriend who is interested in learning Chinese. By the way, I’m Chinese and I really like the designs and photographs on these cards.”

-Youfang, Netherlands

 

“We’ve received the deck and my son and I have started learning the names and played one game so far. I’m happy to write a testimonial: Chinese Champions has been a lot of fun to play with my five-year-old son, who is learning to read both Chinese and English. It’s been important to find ways for using Chinese to be fun, given he’s in an English environment much of the time, and CC definitely qualifies in his eyes. And it’s good practice for me, too.”

-Kevin, Founder of WordSwing, USA

 

“Very satisfied. I think you should know that my students have been playing Chinese Champions in class. It’s one of the games that always gets picked up when I have my ‘Student Choice of Educational Games’ time in class.”

-Elisabeth, Teacher, USA
