The story of how a homemade, anti-capitalist game created by a woman becomes a mass-produced uber-capitalist game that profited a man.

Rather relevant. I had no idea ‘Monopoly’ had an anti-capitalist predecessor.

This community is a general focused community around the topic of boardgames, tabletop roleplaying games, card games, and more.

In particular, we want to highlight any games that investigate themes around climate change, climate resiliency, ecology, or solarpunk (including projects in progress). As well as games that have been constructed with durable, ecologically friendly, less wasteful manufacturing, or are otherwise just groovy and thought provoking.
