Asian Tigers: A Story of Prosperity casts players as international investors supporting the rapid growth of South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Workers enter factories, universities, laboratories, power plants, and trade centers to produce six kinds of goods, improve personal engines, and compete for influence in each economy. Worker type matters: a placement can restrict which pieces follow it, while each Tiger’s turn changes the available sites and the order in which regions act. Goods sold into the global market advance turn order and multiply end-game prosperity, but local majorities and private management goals reward a broader network. Two eras reset important pressures without erasing the infrastructure already built, creating a demanding balance between timing, specialization, and geographic reach.
