You've focused regularly on skill or challenge based play in a somewhat binary way; does this allow for skilled expression, can we evaluate good vs. worse players, is there a challenge dynamic a player is working to overcome?I'm coming from a position that's much more discriminating about the actual mechanics and expressions of those challenges. What is the kind of gameplay decision a player is making, what does it feel like to make, how do those choices produce the resulting board state? I have questions about the choice of where randomness is introduced, or how big the meaningful decision space is moment to moment that I'm largely importing from other kinds of games.</blockquote>
