Pat Marino, head of Hobby Games at The OP joins us on the Submarine! Pat, Josh, and Andrew have been acquainted for some time...so they kind of lose track of time. But they talk about so many great things! From Ip's, imposter syndrome, and a whole bunch of other OP-py goodness. We also discuss Gnome Hollow, Court of the Dead, and Skyteam! All this and more on the final episode of 2023!
I recently had the honour to be tasked with donating most of the 2023 Spiel des Jahres, Kinderspiel des Jahres and Kennerspiel des Jahres nominations and longlist titles to good causes on behalf of Spiel des Jahres. Being curious about the association and their selections, I decided to play some of the games myself. As a result, I wanted to share with you more about the Spiel des Jahres association and how I think its goals are reflected in the games they select.

The persistent stereotype that role-playing, tabletop game players are overwhelmingly white is rooted in race, housing, and history. The suburban homes where people could dedicate a surface to a sprawling, multiplayer board game used to be almost exclusively white. And the knights, wizards, and other fantastic creatures in these games were closely tied to European mythology. But a more diverse world of game playing is rising, with more people of color getting a seat at the creative table. On today's episode of A Word, Jason Johnson discusses diversity in hobby games with Aaron Trammell, a professor of informatics at U.C. Irvine. He's also the author of the new book The Privilege of Play: A History of Hobby Games, Race and Geek Culture.
