    @mossmouth @tha_rami it doesn't directly address the point at hand, but this discussion makes me think about the essay "Postcolonial Catan" (English version lower on the page) faidutti.com/blog/?p=3780 - all about how boardgames lean on exoticised caricatures of other cultures.

      @mossmouth @tha_rami specifically: wanting the setting to do a lot of heavy lifting in terms of explaining how things relate, what's going on, etc. do you use your limited attention for explaining what's going on on getting people up to speed with the setting? or do you use it to teach mechanics?
