Game market of Taiwan district also owns its simplicity and complexity, such as the single media channels, the implementation of local protection policies, the share of money flow between game publishers and physical card channels, etc., these problems need to be paid attention to by entrepreneurs. In addition to these, also exist several restrictions on publishing board games in Taiwan district that may beyond your knowledge.





Investors from Mainland China are prohibited from engaging in online mobile game operations



If you want to enter the Taiwanese game market, the most important piece of advice is to understand the local policies. Taiwan district "prohibits mainland investors from engaging in online mobile game operations" in local, therefore issuing companies generally cooperate with local manufacturers or establish subsidiaries in local.



According to the current "Regulations on Cross-Strait People's Exchanges" in Taiwan district, on the contrary of companies from other countries, game companies from Chinese Mainland are not allowed to publish and operate games directly in Taiwan district. The only way can game companies of Chinese Mainland to enter in Taiwanese game market is to cooperate with local manufacturers, like IWPLAY, GM99, Joybomb and so on；or establish a joint venture company with natives.





Redefine chess puzzle classes



Taiwan district revised "Game Software Grading Management Measures" in 2019, that redefined the chess puzzle entertainment games. At the same time, it subdivided them into two types: "Chess" and "Cards + Puzzle Entertainment", of which "Chess" games include Backgammon, Chess, Checkers, Go, etc., and " Cards + Puzzle Entertainment" includes Mahjong, Poker, Dice, and other content.







The age level of "Chess" and "Card + Puzzle Entertainment" games can be increased to a maximum of 15+. " Chess" game is rated as level 0 without directly affecting the increase or decrease of virtual currency, while "Card + Puzzle Entertainment" is rated 6+ without directly affecting the increase or decrease of virtual currency, which is equivalent to the definition before the amendment. On the contrary, as long as the result of the game directly affects the increase or decrease of virtual currency, the "Chess" and "Cards + Puzzle Entertainment" will be raised to 15+。
