Our hobby is beginning to ask some tough questions about how boardgames interact with the real world, and history itself. In this video essay, I ask some questions for which I don't have any easy answers. Should we even play historical games at all? It is problematic for many reasons, but I think it is important to have this discussion. Let us know what you think in the comments!
