Ah but I loooooooooove Vlada games with deep, crunchy mechanics and many moving parts.

I also love games that are conceptually simple but require mastery like Chess, Go, and their like.

There is a range and the explosion in popularity of boardgaming in this last decade has been a boon as we've seen such a wide array of games and play styles cater to everyone on the spectrum!

Sure, this is entirely personal taste and I will admit somewhat driven by limited time now I have kids. If we're getting the gang together it's annoying to spend ages setting up, whereas sitting down for an MtG draft is so easy and feels like it has infinite variety.

I actually only play games like Mage Knight solo as I don't know anyone else like me who enjoys that sort of game!
