The Game Piece Recall Project
We here at Leafcutter Designs are saddened when we think about the ethics of the board games we grew up with. In "Sorry!" players are rewarded by pushing other people out of their way. In "Monopoly" players are rewarded by owning all the properties on the board and bankrupting the other players. In "Battleship" we learned to blast each other out of the water.
So we invite you to boycott these games and replace them with friendlier activities. If you would like to participate in our game piece recall project, please just send us your Sorry!, Monopoly, or Battleship game pieces in the mail to show your intent to never play such games again. If you do not have any of these games, but want to help rid the world of them, consider purchasing one at a thrift store or on eBay and then sending us the pieces. We will document the incoming game pieces and periodically post photos on this page of the growing collection.
For a friendlier cooperation-based game, consider a round of Infinite Possibilities: a game of artifact associations. (And scroll down to see a picture of a pacification of battleship, and Lea with the giant game pieces in downtown Philadelphia.)
