Monopoly was originally designed by a woman named Lizzie Magie, and it was intended as a critique of monopolies. It's not meant to be fun, so if you don't think it is, it's doing its job! (It was later stolen by a man and sold, but when the purchasing company discovered this they bought her patent.)

This is what gender affirming surgery looks like for a 12 year old. A 15 minute procedure, during which a puberty blocker is inserted into the biceps muscle. The effects of which are totally reversible. Posted with permission.

As an avid supporter of print-and-play roll-and-write #BoardGames, I'm dismayed by the increase of "AI art" used by the designers. This is what I sent to a designer today. So bummed, the game looks good. But there are lots of good games coming out and I'll toss my $ at those not using AI "art".
