🤝 Inclusive design Inclusive design is separate from a game’s queer labels. It marks games whose design is deliberately inclusive even when not queer-themed: romance or marriage mechanics with no gender constraint, character creation without a forced gender binary, gender-neutral rules language, or table safety tools. Each marker shows where we found it.

  • Safety tools (X-card, lines & veils, session zero)
    According to the game’s rulebook
    “With “queer” we mean a person that is not cisgender and/or not heterosexual: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender , pansexual, genderfluid, asexual, non-binary, and so on.”
