To begin with, it’s very hard to gather a collection of tabletop “LGBTQIA+ games” because even searching for such categories and classifications calls them into doubt. Searching for LGBTQIA+ games assumes that they are easy to clearly define. Unless a tabletop game has words such as “gay” or “queer” in the title, it is hard to uncover them. While there are lists of LGBTQIA themes in RPGs and video games, we haven’t launch similar lists for tabletop games so our search began with local game stores and g

From the outside, Fog of Love hits all the popular methods for addressing gender and sexuality diversity in board games. Two sided character cards let you choose a male or female silhouette for each player. The manual and scene cards avoid gender specific pronouns. It even affirmatively mentions the ability to act a same-sex couple in the manual, and notes that if there is a scene that uses a specific gender combination different from the couple you&#;re playing, you can discard it and attract a new one.
This is all a great step forwa
