It's just sad that they necessarily exclude kids with gratuitous themes that are not necessary for the art.<BR/><BR/>YehudaYehuda Berlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038826060312027387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-2277631285754435482007-04-03T21:29:00.000+03:002007-04-03T21:29:00.000+03:00I'm in Yehuda's game group.

The game owner pointed out that he had already blacked out all of the relevant cards. So I haven't seen how bad they are, but you would think manufacturers might be aware that this type of art is detrimental to more players than it attracts.<BR/>-- NadineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-10720910545778328512007-04-02T20:43:00.000+03:002007-04-02T20:43:00.000+03:00I just want to commend you for your faithfulness t...I just want to commend you for your faithfulness to your religion. Your patience in the BGG thread regarding religious issues and games is commendable. As a father of two young children (who I will play games with someday), I share your concerns.<BR/><BR/>My biggest challenge has come from immodesty. I cannot in good conscience purchase and enjoy games that feature immodesty, especially since I want to set a good example for my children.<BR/><BR/>Take Blue Moon City, for example. The artwork is tremendous, but a whole race of cards is of scantily clad Amazon-like women. I've blacked out cards in other games before, but "fixing" all of these would be very difficult.<BR/><BR/>This is a real disappointment, since BMC would otherwise be a great family game. I often wonder if this poor design decision cost it the SdJ. (From what I've read, it looks much better than Thurn & Taxis.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
