I wish that most sports would agree on a unified design system for on screen stats. Playoff baseball it's impossible to read because everyone does it super different.
Even something as simple as "let's agree to the top left corner" would be great.
Played a dozen or so games of Y this past week, which kept my interest enough to finally start learning Go. I've got the basics down, but the level of depth seems pretty limitless. Unlike chess I feel you get a "feel" for where to play your pieces. You're reading a pattern, rather than position.
I can't recommend Y enough. The immediate response after the first game is "ok, i get this now, let's try again", followed by trying to master it forever after. Such a simple mechanic: connect the dots in a line to touch all three sides of the board. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/52...
What blows my mind is the math. Even if you placed the dots randomly one color would always touch three sides. It's impossible to draw.
3-0 in the 1st feels good, but no true Atlanta sports fan feels safe. 13-0 in the 1st wouldn't feel safe.
That crowd gets LOUD. Little jelly as an O's fan.
It helps when the games aren't at 2 PM.
