    What does "Casual" play mean to you?

    I think you're comparing apple and oranges Gizmo. The true distinction is whether it's casual vs a tourney environment, and you can be competitive in both. So yes KJ, I think you're casual-competitive.

    What does "Casual" play mean to you?

    Ah, but in Enduring Renewal's example, what if you're trying to find a different way to use it that turns out to be as strong or possibly stronger? Sure, Pebbles is a known strong deck, but a lot of cards can be used in different combos, especially with new expansions coming out. But you'll...

    What does "Casual" play mean to you?

    See, I think that's an over-simplification of being competitive, to the extreme. An example of being competitive where the win doesn't matter to exclusion of everything else is a deck-building challenge, where each player takes one card and builds a deck around it. Or a challenge where you see...

    D&D: Palace of the Silver Princess

    (Yes. Two turns for everyone to search for secret doors and traps. I'm having you travel at 30' a turn in new areas to map, move cautiously, etc. 60'/turn through familiar areas. But yes, that means more wandering monster checks and possibly more battles)

    What does "Casual" play mean to you?

    Any game or matchup with rules, one person is going to "win" or come out ahead. That's just the nature of games in general. That said, you can either go "cutt-throat, win at all costs" or "win, but don't care if you lose (or care less)". You could have a competitive deck that wins on the...

    What does "Casual" play mean to you?

    Okay, then here seems to be the question: why is casual mutually exclusive from competitive? Why isn't it as KJ asks "casual-competitive"?

    What does "Casual" play mean to you?

    I don't think anyone's brought the baggage "casual=good and competitive=bad" to this thread. I just don't think there can be one, simple definition for casual. It means different things to different people (as evidenced by this thread).

    D&D: Palace of the Silver Princess

    You can't really place an age on the tapestries. They're definitely not "shiny new" as in made-yesterday, but they're not frayed either as in made-hundreds-of-years-ago. They just seem to have been well-maintained, except for a thin layer of dust (as in on most of the stuff in the castle now)...
