Abstract
In this paper, I will present my data on 120 player surveys, and 40 board game café owner surveys to analyse how in-person results differ from online surveys simply because they’re sampling a different type of board game player. Based on these results, I posit that gender demographics in board game interest is not inherently male-oriented, but rather becomes this way through segregated spaces and increased personal investment in the hobby.
