The board game industry can seem male-dominated at times, especially if you've ever been to Gen Con board game convention or Magic the Gathering night at your local comic store. Despite the strong masculine aura, there are still plenty of female gamers out there, and some of them have started their own board game companies and/or developed awesome games. These aren't "girl games", and there's no "pinkwashing" involved– they're just fantastic board games made by women that everyone should check out.
