“Si Se Pai” (Four-Color Cards) is a traditional Taiwanese card game on the verge of disappearing. These days, it usually only shows up at card tables shared by elders in rural areas.
My grandmother, known as the gambling queen of Yangzhai Village in Kinmen, once used Four-Color Cards to tightly weave together the village’s entertainment and everyday life. But since my grandfather passed away last year, that connection has slowly begun to fade.
As the heir to the Four-Color Card queen, what meaning does it have if there’s no one left to play with?
Let’s bring people back together through the Four-Color Cards Revival Movement.
Known as Design Golden Grandson, a.k.a. the heir to the Kinmen Four-Color Cards Gambling Queen, and a.k.a. the Four-Color Cards Revival Movement Ambassador. Specializing in combining everyday objects with contemporary visual symbols, their work responds to observations from daily life through humor-driven design.
