@danluu a common boardgame experience is for a group of friends to discover new games together, and have a similar amount of play time

if some players do strategic research ahead of time and others don't, gameplay is likely to be very skewed and in fact often less fun than everyone being new to the game

@danluu @ouguoc in my (limited) experience sophisticated discussion moved to discord servers. that was the case for both through the ages (tho BGG has _some_ strategy content, & interviews/discussions with top players) & 1822

unfortunate consequences on searchability / existance of archives tho
