Was thinking about what I play board games for (fun + collecting mechanisms and their intuitions), in light of what I hope those mechanisms can do (empower the disadvantaged), and it started making me wonder if you could make a board game where:
1. Players start with deliberately unfair distribution of points/resources.
2. Resources could be purchased directly from other players at agreed/colluded prices.
Could we start a genre that develops the muscles for coordinating under severe imbalance? Seems like it could develop more relevant skills than the normal ("zero to win") type games today.

Game night tonight, going to be playing "Watergate" for the first time. Looks like Go meets Go Fish meets Dominion. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/274364/watergate
