Introducing Hawker Wars:
A New Card Game That Celebrates Local Hawkers
The game launches exclusively on Shopee on 22 June 2021

2021 has been a trying time for our hawkers, both young and old, and we have seen many ground up movements throughout recent months to celebrate and keep this unique culture of ours alive. With so much love for hawkers going around, Hawker Wars aims to keep this momentum going, with a hyper-local card game that features and celebrates the various elements of our uniquely
Singaporean Hawker Culture.

Hawker Wars is the latest card game from the studio that brought you Singapore’s best-selling local game, The Singaporean Dream. In this game, you’ll take on the role of a hawker, and compete with other players to cook as many dishes and earn the target points as fast as you can.

You’ll get the chance to cook up a storm by collecting ingredients and whipping up tasty dishes faster than other players. Don’t forget, as much as you’ve prepared, you’ll have various challenges to face, and occasionally maybe even a little scruffle. But all’s fair in love and Hawker Wars, because there’ll also be times when you’re ahead of the game, getting food awards and being featured on TV.

Fans of The Singaporean Dream will recognize some of the effects and actions cards in the game, and players can use these cards to strategize and win the game.

Watch out for Event Cards! Life isn’t easy as a hawker, Event Cards call out to the tough scenarios hawkers have to face, from getting ‘Food Poisoning’ to having a ‘Cockroach Infestation’. All hawkers will have to face this together, and who will suffer or gain through this experience is entirely up to you.

Hawker Wars is created by SYNT Studio – the studio that brought you The Singaporean Dream, Singapore’s best-selling local card game.

Together, they hope to bring more fun and joy to living rooms all across Singapore, celebrating what makes us Singaporean, and creating more occasions for us to live and laugh together.

On the launch of Hawker Wars, Theresa relates, “As Singaporeans, hawker food is really close to our hearts, and we hope that this game can continue to bond families and friends alike, through our common love of food and fun”. “Our hawker culture is central to our Singaporean identity, and we have to continue supporting and promoting our hawker heritage”, she adds.
