This year, Banzi Balloons took us to space! The balloon lander took over 9,000 balloons to create and raised $1,399 for our charity partners @indyreads and @gamepathways. And don't worry, we have video of the destruction, stay tuned! #GenCon #GenConIndy #GenCon2023

I would like to offer some data, not as criticism of the SdJ org, but as a criticism of the PIPELINE. Something is wrong with a system that leads to these pictures: ๐Ÿงต 1. Nominees for the SdJ since 1999: 5 women, 103 men (& no other gender ID AFAIK). No women in the last 2 yrs.
Bar chart titled Nominations for the Spiel des Jahres: over all the years since 1999, only 5 women have been nominated
