it’s not a very complicated game, despite what people say.

(I’m not denying that there are depths, but the rules aren’t that complicated.)

It can be fun, but it can become an obsession as well – a waste of time, if you will. It certainly was for me at some times.

Now I’m wasting time with other games instead. Maybe I can find a way to play games AND work towards the goals that I’ve avoided while playing games…?
