We are privileged to be working with Elizabeth Hargrave and Pandasaurus Games on a project they have in the works about breeding and domesticating foxes! We are currently looking for interested playtesters who may be interested in any of the nouns in that previous sentence!
This is a 45-60 min euro-ish drafting game for 2-4 players with a pretty quick core round structure. Playtest groups will need 12 six-sided dice of two colors(or close-enough color families), and access to a printer and a way to cut out a fair amount of cards.
Playtesters who are still observing social distancing and isolation, don’t have a group of their own, or simply prefer digital will be able to test using a Tabletop Simulator mod we are almost done with.
As part of our ongoing education, we’re exploring prominent voices in the abolition movement. From the opening paragraphs of Angela Davis’ essay: Political Prisoners, Prisons, and Black Liberation:
Despite a long history of exalted appeals to man’s inherent right of resistance, there has seldom been agreement on how to relate in practice to unjust, immoral laws and the oppressive social order from which they emanate. The conservative, who does not dispute the validity of revolutions deeply buried in history, invokes visions of impending anarchy in order to legitimize his demand for absolute obedience. Law and order, with the major emphasis on order, is his watchword. The liberal articulates his sensitiveness to certain of society’s intolerable details, but will almost never prescribe methods of resistance which exceed the limits of legality—redress through electoral channels is the liberal’s panacea.
In the heat of our pursuit for fundamental human rights, Black people have been continually cautioned to be patient. We are advised that as long as we remain faithful to the existing democratic order, the glorious moment will eventually arrive when we will come into our own as full-fledged human beings.
But having been taught by bitter experience, we know that there is a glaring incongruity between democracy and the capitalist economy which is the source of our ills. Regardless of all rhetoric to the contrary, the people are not the ultimate matrix of the laws and the system which govern them—certainly not Black people and other nationally oppressed people, but not even the mass of whites. The people do not exercise decisive control over the determining factors of their lives.
