Plan your dream Malaysian getaway without needing to take actual time off! In Malaysian Holidays, you'll collect and chain public holidays to create epic long weekends, all while dodging the watchful eye of HR. It's a race to string together as many days off as possible, celebrating the diverse festivals and public holidays in Malaysia, both national and state-level. The game invites you to discover Malaysians' favorite holiday destinations, whether local or overseas. Here's how it works: you'll participate in a card drafting process, aiming to collect sequences of days of the week. When you manage a decent streak (like Monday to Wednesday, or even Friday!), you trade it in for a holiday card, which is worth victory points. The first player to reach 5 points wins the game! It's a fast-paced game, focusing on set collection strategy and quick decision-making, perfect for those who enjoy light games with a fun thematic twist.
