Just for fun - I'm thinking of a little bit of mental exercise.
Here's a few of questions:
a. why is the game piece important?
b. what does changing it up from year to year do?
c. how does the game piece affect the overall game?
d. how does the game piece affect the strategy or strategies of the game?
e. what are the limitations to a game piece when making a decision as to what to use?
I see lots of discussions trying to predict game pieces and suggest game pieces but I never fully understand why that is important. Help me out.
