I love the framing of a game as a text to be read. But you can’t read a game without playing it and embodying the types of agency it makes possible or prevents... the impact you may have had may be inconclusive or hard to score but by engaging the subjects (ideas, people, and ok “intelligences”) you extended the board for future players.
Ack! I didn’t mean to imply you hadn’t played -- quite the opposite. But in rereading my comment... the “you” in that sentence was the general you (generic player) not you, Eryk. So I was totally in agreement.

Well, to be clear, I did “play” the red team event! But point taken :)

Got it! No worries!
