"I denied your ad request on BGG because I spend my free time curing demonic possession, and also I think you shouldn't publish your game which I think you made in ignorance of the real depravity of Satan and his works" is a fucking insane thing to write in an email www.reddit.com/r/boardgames...

Long-running French board game publisher Ludonaute is calling time on creating new games at the end of 2025, saying the hobby's huge expansion in recent years had seen passion within the industry leech away in favour of economic decision-making: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

Four people with green bamboo behind them act playfully for the camera. One sticks their tongue out, another makes bunny ears behind a third's head. The team from French board game publisher Ludonaute.

A glowing tree sits on a mossy rock in the middle of a glade, featuring a pool of very light blue water. Several strange creatures are present in the glade, evoking forest spirits. Living Forest is written in green above. Front cover for the board game Living Forest.

Two early 19th century explorers, one dressed in mocassins and one in military attire paddle a canoe. Two sailships are visible in the background to the right, and a native American stands on an outcrop above the water with a child and black dog.

The left shows a white man with moustache wearing an 1800s-style white suit and cracking a whip, and is titled SLAVER. The right card shows a half-naked black man in chains, apparently drooling or foaming at the mouth, titled FUGITIVE. Cards from the board game Ace of Spades.
