To All the Men I've Tolerated Before

Summer Break: Diversity in the Boardgame Industry


Listen Later

We have a Summer Break Flashback this week! This felt important given all the information I've been seeing on how tariffs will affect indie boardgame publishers.

Kervin of For Why Games joins Natalie to talk about his experiences advocating for diversity within board game development. He explains the steps and measures he took to create his first game, Allow Me to Mansplain and the ways he intentionally crafted rules and gameplay to foster discussions around the concept of mansplaining. The episode also dives into what is currently taken into consideration when it comes to diversity in game creation and where we need to head next to make sure gaming is a welcoming place for everyone. Natalie and Kervin also share their personal experiences of wanting a safe, diverse community to play games with and what it's like when you’re having a hard time finding it or you’re not being heard when explaining why the current situation isn’t making you feel safe and welcomed.
