In late November, from the 22nd to the 24th, members of the Ludosophia Club from Parami University volunteered at Burma’s first and biggest board game event, “Hobby Hub,” organized by “Vertex Gaming Myanmar.” The club had a great opportunity to introduce the magic of board games to visitors at HobbyHub. The event offered an entertaining and interactive space for young people to explore hobbies, but the excitement extended far beyond just the youth.
“Not only youths but every generation we encountered was hooked on our board games as we explained the rules and strategies and played together,” said the club members.
One of the highlights was introducing games like Pylos, Quoridor, Quixo, and Shobu, which are mentally challenging and encourage players to think ahead and adapt.
We were thrilled to hear public opinions like, “I never knew there were so many strategy games beyond chess!”
Comments like this reinforced the impact of introducing diverse board games that go beyond traditional perceptions. Ludosophia Club believes board games are more than a pastime—they are tools for fostering connections, building critical thinking skills, and encouraging collaboration. Whether strategizing a winning move or simply sharing a laugh over a playful moment, board games bridge generational gaps and create lasting memories.
Partnered with House Rules Board Game Cafe, the club members volunteered under the name of House Rules Board Game Cafe and helped organize the Splendor Board Game Tournament, explaining and playing board games at the Free Public Board Game sessions with people and more.
Ludosophia is an innovative project under the Lun Project, a continuation of the legacy started by LAPC. Derived from the Latin words "ludo," meaning "I play," and "sophia," meaning "wisdom" or "knowledge," Ludosophia represents the spirit of learning through play, where we expand the purpose of board games which are not only for fun, but also for strategic thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and civic engagement within and beyond Parami.
Lun aims to promote in-person creative outlets that “do no harm” & “authenticate educational creativity in everyday lives.” Lun started with LAPC and now bridges upon LUDOSOPHIA, with the same objectives and different approaches.
