Gender of Game Designers: Board Game Geek Top 500, January 2025 A pie chart: 92% of the pie is Designed only by men. They made 461 of the top 500 games. 6% of the pie is Designed by a mixed-gender group. They made 28 of the top 500 games. 1% of the pie is Designed only by women or non-binary people. They made 5 of the top 500 games. Data are for January 1, 2025, using the names in the Designer field on BGG. Not shown are 6 games in the top 500 that have uncredited designers.

Update to this chart that I share a lot. Not breaking news: Game design teams are still OVERWHELMINGLY all men. About 7% of the top 500 games have a woman or non-binary person credited as a designer. A 🧵of related charts: (1/6)

I have seen people back away from actually winning the game because the Bene Gesserit player was getting visibly excited

This gave me a good laugh. IYKYK

Off to be a munchkin for (finally) the last time.

Hah 😅 but even hammy is not allowed

What's wrong with Hammy, RB? No variation of it seems allowed.

A little bit of last-pack magic while waiting for the SW2 update to apply so I can sleep while it downloads all the games. WRONG LEVER!

Switch 2 midnight launch, baby! 🕹️

Hoping some of my children can find a new home from the Melbourne Board Game Market today 🤞

Congrats! Hoping I'll claw my way up tomorrow

Who's your favorite Pokémon?
Wrong answers only.

Go Racers!

I resisted heavily on a BLAT today but I should have given in 🌶️

The urge not to put crispy chilli oil on everything.

Still a bit disheartened playing into Am/Steelsong particularly Doc builds. It's so prevalent I think I might have to switch to Emerald Steel discard or something 😅

Yes! I hope I can come down for a more casual night to hang out

Decent attempt at set champs today, bubbled out of top 8 but happy with the work these 3 put in.

Australia just had a federal election, where we learned the following:

- Australia isn’t America, which everyone knows except the opposition

- It’s possible to overcome a media landscape stuffed with U.S culture war bullshit

- Compulsory voting + you get a sausage for doing it = engagement!

This is a great idea! We don't make much waste but a good way to save fragrant ingredients

I would love to be at my local set champs today but not mad about being out at the Grape Escape wine festival in Halls Gap instead

I'm impressed.

But why does it play 'Ducktales'???

I want to see this Pabbie take!

How short?? ( And also pics pls)
