This week we discuss a topic from Sean Hamilton who writes:
Not exactly a question, but I feel like it's a point that should be addressed. The importance of different 'weights' of games. A discussion how it can be useful to have a light game at the start of the night when you might be waiting for people to show up, and a light game after a heavy game just to recover. I don't know if you could get a full episode out of it, but it might be a valid point to bring up anyways.
