eurogames come with three kinds of themes:
- [trade] of [Holy Roman Empire statelet]. Just combine any two. Glassblowers of Augsburg. Shoemakers of Lubeck. Milliners of Padua.
- title that vaguely references a historical period in the most vague and superficial way possible. the game is called Mansa Musa, for example, and it's about collecting blue, pink, and orange cubes.
- title that very specifically references a very specific historical period that's going to be explored in uncomfortable detail but with zero awareness of why it might be uncomfortable. You know. The Puerto Ricos of the world.
