  You can find plenty of those. What you can’t do is find games with all the components manufactured in the US. Cardstock, in particular, just doesn’t exist in US production at the quality card games would want. If you want stuff that isn’t semi-transparent in a bright light, you don’t buy cardstock from US producers.

  I recognize the hill you’re trying to die on but good luck. You’re going to find a lot of overpriced rehashes of games that already exist.

    That's the sad fact, yes. American designers don't seem to be interested in innovating. I wish I knew why, or what would inspire the majority to do more than Kickstarter grift.

      What are you talking about? / There are hundreds if not thousands of american made game companies, many of which are card games.

      I passed a shop just the other day that has a store front for advertising but is a working print and design house. 90 percent of the store is basically a assembly house with a writer and design area up front. They do it in the open to inspire others (and to get noticed) even though none of the sales happen there, it’s all mail and online.

        Good, I wish I could find more games like that.

        It supports Americans. And I'm an American.

  Why does that matter to you?

  • Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Because I'm American. On the design side, I want to support games from designers who are infected with the same memes (classical definition) as I am. I want to see people who are culturally like me innovate, based on concepts that feel natural to me. I've gotten to a point in my life where I'm not interested in trying to figure out what a dev in Germany was thinking in their translated rules.

    On the manufacturing side, I believe that we need to support domestic production and industry. I want to see jobs be created for Americans that aren't just advertising, marketing, and entertaining.
