Greetings gentleman. To begin with I hope that all of you and your families had a nice Christmas and that you all have a safe, healthy, and prosperous 2008.
This is the first time that I have ever responded to such a post so here is my take on the question. First of all this is simply a hobby and we need not get carried away. There are really much more things in life to be concerned with. In my eyes it is really a combination of both. It can be seen as a toy that when played and tweaked can become a game. I could be wrong but many, if not most, of us got our first boardgame as children for Christmas. We saw it as a toy and tweaked it to be like the games that we saw on Saturday and Sunday. At least that is what I did and still do. I am nothing but a big kid and like to have FUN when playing. More so this toy/game has allowed me to have FUN, FELLOWSHIP, and meet people who more than likely will be FRIENDS for life. As we all know the Raiders have a saying and it is simply "JUST WIN BABY". Whatever definition people in the hobby decide on is really not important. What I feel is most important is simply "JUST PLAY BABY".
