meaning leftist pacificists and leftist radicals shouldn't condemn each others' tactics

You can be radical and a pacifist. Framing it otherwise sounds like typical Judean People's Front bullshit to me... /s

In Germany we say "Friedlich oder militant - wichtig ist der Widerstand", and I think that's beautiful.

DW is Deutsche Welle - a German international broadcaster.

My goal is to have a game that I can carry around with me, walk up to people I meet in public, and ask them to play.

Is it just about portability or do you also need a small playing area?

I want the game to be strategic with minimal luck but simple enough that a first time player could reasonably win against someone experienced.

Those goals are at odds. If there's minimal luck, there's little room for the new player to win in a strategic game.

That being said:

• Azul can be quite portable (if you dump the box), but needs some playing space. It's vicious with two players, the more experienced player will usually win, but the rules are simple enough for a first time player to at least understand what happens.
• Onitama is chess-like, with simple rules and some randomization that prevents the need to memorize start sequences and the like.
• Arboretum is a tight battle with two players. You constantly need to worry which cards to play in order to gain points, which cards to keep in order to even be eligible for scoring and which useless cards not to drop, because they might be useful for your opponent.
• Kahuna is a bit older, with simple rules but some strategy.
• The Fox in the Forest is a two player trick taking game I found rather enjoyable (and I don't even like trick taking games).

Die Lehre aus der Nazizeit ist, nie wieder auf Seiten der Verlierer zu stehen (frei nach den Goldenen Zitronen).

Dass man Witze über tödliche Attentate nicht gut findet, macht eine:n nicht automatisch zum Faschisten.

Und der Wahlausschuss des Bundestages hat dem Vorschlag mit Zweidrittelmehrheit zugestimmt - der scheint also auch linksradikal zu sein.

Außer denen natürlich, die den Lügen ihrer Kollegen öffentlich widersprochen haben!

Sozialverträgliches Frühableben

Fun fact: two distinct events from 1969 and 1976 might not accurately represent the Left in 2025.

I never said they did. But they demonstrate that we can't just assume that people aren't antisemitic just because they are left(-leaning). Unless of course you don't want to learn from history.

generally assume that people, and especially left-leaning people, aren’t antisemitic even if Israel critiques them as such

Aa a German leftist I cannot assume that. For example, German leftists placed a bomb at a Holocaust memorial event in a jewish community center in 1969. And during the hijacking of an Air France flight the RZ separated the passengers and kept only those with Israeli passports or "jewish sounding names" etc. as hostages (German Wikipedia, German article with quotes from RZ members).
