According to the Heritage and Culture Education Center, "games" are an international form of amusement and circulating culture. Countries employ their ingenuity and innovation to create play equipment out of accessible materials locally. Therefore, the play equipment contains locally distinctive features. Additionally, kids all across the world frequently engage in several games with comparable formats. For instance, "Mancala," one of the main characters in this exhibition, is an African game that goes by many names in different nations but is regarded as a significant game by others, even printed on national coins are cultural heritage. Because of this, The Heritage and Culture Education Center also believes that this exhibition will use "games" to present a distinct viewpoint.
