At Western\u2019s Pack Welcome Week Game Night on Sept. 25 Abby\u2019s House introduced students to a quirky card game called \u201cRadical Queer Witches.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The game is played almost exactly like \u201cCards Against Humanity,\u201d but appeals to a more female, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ audience. The goal of the game\u2019s creator was to address issues of oppression in a humorous fashion and avoid the offensive aspects of Cards Against Humanity. Examples of response cards include \u201cgaslighting, gatekeeping, and girlbossing\u201d and \u201cdissociating in the grocery store.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hailee Carmody, the Basic Needs Peer Educator of Abby\u2019s House, commented on the importance of the game: \u201cIt takes out a lot of insensitive answers and puts in some modern and way more fun ones,\u201d Carmody said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carmody and other Abby\u2019s House employees are fervently trying to increase student involvement. \u201cIf you like Taylor Swift and games, please come to Abby\u2019s House.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact the author at <\/span><a href=\"mailto:howlentertainment@wou.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">howlentertainment@wou.edu<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1094,"featured_media":20274,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1535,41,1590,1589,1389],"class_list":["post-20273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-abbys-house-2","tag-college","tag-diverse-games","tag-game-night","tag-lgbtq-2"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1094"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20273\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/westernhowl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
