Sad to see CGE funding the anti trans legal movement through JK Rowling. I can't in good conscience buy anything more from CGE as long as this is happening.

How disappointing that CGE would choose to collab with JK Rowling, a bigot working to erode trans rights.
It was an easy decision for us to make. We will not be buying anymore CGE board games going forward, nor covering the CGE games we already own.
Trans rights are human rights, simple as that.

During Gen Con, I will have 250 of these zines with me.
The goal is to inform normies about what’s going on with CGE and a call to action to join the blacklist.
No buying, pitching, or covering CGE games until they give the community a proper apology and response on how they plan to make good. 🎲✂️

I am a very tiny voice on this but I cancelled my meeting with CGE after their statement.
Reviewers including No Pun Included and Shut Up & Sit Down are boycotting Codenames publisher CGE for releasing a new Harry Potter-themed game while ignoring JK Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric:

Making a Harry Potter game in 2025 without acknowledging the harm of transphobia at a bare minimum is a political statement

Don’t buy this.
This product will directly fund the hatred and oppression of trans individuals.
In fact, stop buying all CGE games so they reconsider placing profits before people.
