Honestly, it's probably not that deep. Like casey787 said, it's just a texture layer, not brain surgery. People overthink brushes way too much.

Totally get that. Had a project once where the "official" story got repeated so much it became fact, even though the early notes said something different. What worked was going back to the raw notes and interview tapes, the stuff before the first summary was written. The messy version is almost always closer to what actually happened, even if it's harder to follow.

I saw a whole thread on BGG last month about this exact thing. People were getting pretty heated over where to draw the line between board games, party games, and card games. I'm with you and jordangibson on this, the physical parts make a big difference. If there's no board or pieces you're moving around, it's just not the same category. Calling charades a board game is like calling a podcast a radio show, it's close but not quite right. It muddies the water for people trying to get into the hobby.

That HTML sandbox trick is smart. We had a similar thing where our devs just wanted to see the actual CSS, not a style guide.

That peacock must have thought the wet concrete was a fancy new bird bath. I bet Reginald left some wild footprints in the mud around the edges.
