They were my favorite publisher. No hyperbole, Vlaada is my favorite designer and I own more CGE games than any other publisher. I replied to their announcement, "Sad to see CGE funding the anti trans legal movement through JK Rowling. I can't in good conscience buy anything more from CGE as long as this is happening." Their response was to block me, and many others who leveled thoughtful criticism. I'm not sure they would be capable of repairing my feelings about them. That response and their continuing refusal to engage with the fact that the money Rowling makes from this game will be used to hurt a vulnerable community are really hurtful.

I'm not going to get rid of the games I have, but I won't be giving them any more money nor will I recommend their games to anyone else.

Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!
