Rico

Played Puerto Rico this evening, a classic modern game but one that's fraught with thematic triggers - in that the workers, called colonists, are brown and arrive on a ship and so there's more than a tinge of implied slavery here.  It's unfortunate, because it's a fantastic game in and of itself - it's only the thematic wrapper that's the issue.  Re-theme this in space with robots and no-one would bat an eyelid.

I have no problem playing this game.  That's partly because the theme is very much secondary when playing, but mostly because to paint over what happened in the Caribbean sugar and similar industries would be a bigger concern.
