The “$mart Money Management 321” board game is restaged at the Hong Kong Book Fair, with the booth themed “Money Management Carnival” this year.
Visitors tried the award-winning and popular board game “$mart Money Management 321” and participated in other engaging booth games with the opportunity to take home the “企業綠化大變身”, the town’s first board game focused on green financing, as well as a range of exquisite souvenirs.
In the aforementioned green financing board game, players assume the roles of different corporations and embark on a green transformation journey by raising funds in the financial market, thereby deepening their understanding of green financing. The game also conveys various messages on global warming, climate change, ESG, and greenwashing through the "Green Information Cards”.
