Many games available at the event are made by creators self-publishing for the first time.
Indie Games Night Market is incredible for indie makers to lower the barriers to game publication.
There will be true, one-of-a-kind items that never get printed again. It’s an event you won’t want to miss!

It's a basic point, but one that needs to be repeated:
If right-wingers and their views were popular, they would not be so desperate to control mass media & social media nor to use government power to silence everyone else, and they wouldn't need oligarchs pumping billions into amplifying them.

So you know how many views Charlie Kirk’s memorial got online in TOTAL now a day later ?
26000
Folks are having “dialogues” to see both sides with folks who can’t top a mid level anime food influencer
At some point we admit they aren’t being bullied . They’re racists weaponizing cowardice

Amabel Holland has designed board games that tackle the struggle to end slavery, women’s suffrage, and the highly personal topic of gender transition, referring to them as “political art.” What can board games say that other art forms can’t?
