Boardgamers really are overrepresented by comfortable middle class white people huh?
Yeah and it’s hard to get other PoC into tabletop communities because of it. You have the issue of “There’s too many white people, but in order to get more non-white people, you have to get more non-white people.”
Some games are better than others (Vampire: the Masquerade and Yu-Gi-Oh come to mind), but a lot have settler-brain. Rich Clark wrote an article about the problem in tabletop wargames with colonialist, Eurocentric mechanics a few years ago.
Oh most definitely.
It’s been a trend in eurogames for a while now. There are a ton of these games out there
Spirit Island is the only good game in this list. You get to beat up colonizers and you win when you scare them off the island. It’s good
Yeah, I love Spirit Island. Good thematically and in terms of gameplay.
Imperial Settlers: Aztecs
“muslim slave trade” - tier name
A card game with civilizations to care about
The tagline is so shit even without the context
Yeah, I read Settlers
Catan knockoff
Lol I was gonna say, “Settlers of Catan” became just “Catan” because of woke, this shit thought it could fill in the void by going hard in the other direction from the jump.
I heard its a bestseller among Zionists :3
The expansion makes even worse
I made the mistake of searching up which other expansions exist and came across this
What the actual fuck
These people have to be rage baiting
Everything about this game looks like dogshit, the art, the naming, the theme
