Maybe next we can get Awaken Realms AND Ravensburger to better credit Jason Perez for updating the entire game to 1897. I'm bothered by how little credit he is getting for the new edition. It was a Puerto Rican who took the slavery out of Puerto Rico!
Awaken Realms pulls AI art from deluxe Puerto Rico crowdfunding campaign after Ravensburger steps in:

Board games are art. But are they subject to art restoration? How does that look for our hobby over restoration of still art? Check out my ramblings here:

The question everyone should be asking.
is there a board game out there that adapts cracking boosters/gacha in its mechanics aside from Millennium Blades?
I'm aware of the game Gasha but it was pretty bad (generic set collection)
looking for something about resource management and unknown quantities

Looking through Routledge's catalog, I believe I've found four solid board gaming textbooks. What are some of your favorite books, textbooks, or collections of writings about board gaming? This is an area I'm ignorant in.
