Migrant Worker Life is a board game designed for Taiwanese people who want to know more about the country’s 680,000-strong foreign workforce.

The role-playing game allows participants to step into the shoes of a real migrant worker and follow their story, from leaving home, adapting to their new working environment, facing cultural conflicts, and potentially enduring unpleasant labor disputes.
