Board Game Glimmers (MamaGames, she/her)

Upper body image of a bald man with a long grey beard sitting at a desk, wearing a green-grey t-shirt and counting off his fingers. He wears black-rimmed spectacles and has a black microphone attached to his front. Shelves full of board games are visible behind him, and a silver laptop with a Texas flag sticker is visible on the desk. Sam Healey from The Dice Tower, on his podcast Flipside Of Board Games.

Veteran Dice Tower reviewer Sam Healey resigns in wake of saying Alex Pretti, Renee Good were to blame for ICE killing them, after comments began impacting review giant’s annual pledge drive:

A screenshot of CGE’s instagram page: “With the above in mind, and after many heartfelt and vital discussions both internally and with members of the affected community, we have decided to donate 100% of the profit from this game to appropriate charitable organizations. We will ensure that an amount equal to our greater than the fee paid to license this product will go directly to organizations that provide support for the trans community. We evaluate profits and make charitable-giving decisions each December, and we will continue using this annual process to direct the games profits. We will listen to recommendations from the community to help guide our choices of organizations that provide support for the trans community. Or goal is to select those that offer direct, practical help to people in need — for example, services similar to the emergency hotline that was recently discontinued.”

I’m doing victory laps in my kitchen right now!!!! 💃🏼

CGE just announced they are going to be giving away 100% of the profit from their Harry Potter game to pro-trans charities!!

Just some Ole Racist "history crap" | Ace of Spades I will copy a statement I receive on any platform that is from the publisher) First I am not a race baiter or need attention. I'm a black man that recognizes history can be betrayed in educational fo...

Get out of here with this racist crap.

Devir went ahead and stepped in their own piss. Please go support Jeremy and let Devir know your disappointment and dissatisfaction.

But on top of that—there’s MANY reviewers who received the game prior to Gen Con failed to notice or mention this crap.

We were recently made aware of disturbing and offensive artwork in the new game Ace of Spades by Devir. We have contacted Devir regarding this matter.

Fellow hobbyists: we must strive to be better humans. We can’t simply “look the other way” when an issue doesn’t affect us directly.

'Out Of Control' Republicans Are Viciously Attacking A Congresswoman With Calls To Deport Her Right-wingers are going after Rep. Delia C. Ramirez (D-Ill.), who was born in the U.S., for comments she made about her pride in her Guatemalan heritage.

These attacks against Congresswoman @ramirez.house.gov are unconscionable.

I'll be interviewing her live tomorrow evening at the @netrootsnation.bsky.social conference in New Orleans, and look forward to talking about this and much more.

Last I’ll say on this here. What happened on 10/7 was horrific & condemnable in every way. AND Israel’s massacre of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians—men, women, and children is horrific & condemnable in every way. Never again means never again for everyone, forever. I’m with Mandy on this.

JKR is funding life-destroying legislation. When you license HP and put it on your product, the money you pay to do that is literally ruining lives. This isn't ambiguous, it is direct, measurable harm. I will never give a penny to a company who chooses money over the lives of my friends.
