Lantau Fun is based on the tourist attractions of Lantau Island in Hong Kong and gives players a sense of its geography and tourist attractions. In the game, players are tourists who travel around the island and use the action and function cards in hand to collect "Lantau Fun" cards. The first player who collects the required number of sets of Lantau Fun cards – which are divided into "Local Delicacies", "Entertainment", and "Souvenirs" – wins.
