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'm listening to Mandi, OFPG, Kenna (Coyote & Crow) and others on this one. But I will chime in to say - two of my favorite publishers are from Spain. They produce games centered thematically around cultures not their own. And they manage to not use racist caricatures that were outdated 25 years ago

box of battle of versailles - a game of the fashion industry revolution
resist! cover - a game of the spanish civil war
take a seat box - a game about seating arrangements at a theater
conservas box cover - a game of fishing and tinning
Of the @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social I've played - some of my faves... Look at this delightful mix of theme/setting/mechanism!
Fashion battles of the 70s, Spanish Civil war revolutionaries, Fancy theater seating (in one of my fave roll and writes ever), and fishing/tinning? SO. GOOD.

A smiling man wearing glasses wearing a light pink shirt. He sits behind a red tablecloth table with the game Habemus Papum laid out.
A highlight of Gen Con was meeting Gonzalo from @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social! Salt & Pepper is a go-to publisher for uncommon and historical themes done beautifully combined with intriguing clever mechanisms. Now I see why. Gonzalo is a ball of enthusiasm and so very smart.

I spent the last 2 days on Capitol Hill with @gamaofficial.bsky.social and @ttgda.bsky.social, asking for tariff relief. Sixteen of us collectively had dozens of meetings and drop-bys with Congressional staff. We heard over & over that it makes a difference to hear from their constituents. 1/ 🧵

Trade: Today on BGG News, the tariff talk continues, with comments from a few publishers and many words from me in an accompanying video that attempts to make the case that any gamer should know something screwy is going on with U.S. tariff policy: boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogp... —WEM
