關於台灣的桌遊市場 - 桌遊

小妹單純發表個人想法,如有不妥或錯誤還請賜教。
台灣自產的桌遊為什麼相對沒有市場?
用個兩個問題來說明:
1. 如果今天你要吃道地的義大利麵,
而且預算不限,
你會選擇去發現義大利麵(A)還是去一家主廚就是義大利籍的高級義大利餐廳(B)?
2. 同上,今天A餐廳跟B餐廳價格一樣,
你爸媽希望你帶他們去吃其中一家,
你直覺上會去哪一家餐廳?
我想答案都是後者。
對我而言,「現代桌遊」就是西方世界的產物,
eurogame跟ameritrash發展了數十年,
可以說幾近把所有的遊戲機制、類型都發揮得淋漓盡致了,
現在大多的遊戲也都只是把這些遊戲機制再做拼湊,搭上一個主題罷了。
所以對桌遊已經玩很多的人,其實很難突然看到讓自己驚豔的作品,
現在通常會吸引我的,不外乎是主題、美術或作者。
現在台灣所生產的桌遊,冒昧地說,
不過是重複操作這些複製、拼湊以及上色(套上主題)的流程,
除非真的能超越歐美幾十年的桌遊發展,成功的創設一個新穎的模組,
不然本質上就很難去吸引稍微有桌遊經驗的玩家。
就跟義大利麵一樣,
除非你真的煮出了自己的名聲,靠獨特的口味吸引了一群忠實顧客,
不然當你預算足夠、肯花錢又有選擇的時候,
一般人當然會選擇道地的店吃,起碼有一層保障,
知道基本上不會低於水準。
此外,價格也是考量點之一。
其實我們都知道,台灣物價跟歐美本來就有差距,
加上歐美桌遊進口另外還會被課稅,所以價格自然相對高昂;
但其實如果在歐美地區購買,只要利用特價的機會,
往往都可以用將近台灣價格的一半就可以買到全新品。
可是國產遊戲的價格卻大多都跟國外進口的桌遊價格相似,
當然,產量小可能導致成本增高,
可是就感情上大多人可能仍然無法接受為什麼國產遊戲價格仍然這麼貴,
尤其是在預算有限的情況下,
機制與價格相同的國產遊戲跟進口遊戲,
除非真的有高操的愛國情懷,
我想大多人仍會選擇進口遊戲而非國產遊戲,
就跟上面的問題二,大多人應該會選擇義大利餐廳一樣。
至於對我而言,因為我一直覺得印在桌遊上的中文字體很難看,
所以只要裡面使用的語言不是英文字母,我根本不會多瞥一眼,
譬如最近剛再版的龍年,雖然遊戲本身應該是用不太到什麼語言,
可是看到封面那大大醜醜的兩個字,就完全打消了我購買的念頭。
所以為什麼國產遊戲缺乏市場?
為什麼明明機制類似,甚至略優於市面上的桌遊,
國產遊戲的銷路卻仍然不好?
我想很大部分的原因是因為我們情感上還很難接受國產遊戲這件事情。
再看看過去國產遊戲稍微比較成功的,
大多都有一個特色,就是行銷上非常密集且訴諸「支持台灣設計師」的情感,
但這些遊戲是否禁得起時間的考驗?我想仍然是個問號。
至少我平常爬板很少看到有人在揪國產遊戲的團(除了剛問世那段期間),
也幾乎沒有看到任何徵國產遊戲的文(也是除了剛問世的那段期間),
反倒是要賣的還不算少見。
這當然可能歸咎於遊戲設計上不耐玩或機制的缺陷,
但很大一部分可能也是因為當初一頭熱的「支持」情緒並沒辦法一直維持著。
此外,當很多台灣桌遊設計師在努力的同時,
偶爾的也不免耳聞有取巧抄襲或者是類似的情形,
這些行為傷害的不是他們個人的信譽,
其實也是傷害許多玩家對於國產桌遊的感情。
希望如果國產桌遊要發展出一定的市場,
這種情形不能慢慢地變成偶爾就會出現的常例。
謹分享個人看法。
