Provenance

Where it came from

Published as part of an academic series focused on ludology and cultural studies, this volume edited by Michal Mochocki examines the intersection of board game design and the complex legacies of postcolonialism. The work emerged from a growing scholarly interest in how tabletop games function as vehicles for historical memory and identity construction, particularly in regions navigating the social and political aftermath of colonial rule. By curating a series of essays, the volume aims to deconstruct the narratives embedded in game mechanics and thematic choices, challenging players and designers to consider the socio-political implications of their ludic experiences.

Michal Mochocki, a scholar recognized for his work in game studies and historical re-enactment, steered the collection to provide a multidisciplinary analytical framework. The contributing authors focus on how games can both reinforce and subvert historical biases, aiming to create a bridge between history education and modern game design. The volume is intended primarily for an academic audience and practitioners within the board game industry, receiving attention for its rigorous academic approach to a medium that is often studied through the lens of entertainment rather than socio-political heritage.
