I do. And my friends do. But in that regard, I'm not tourney material, for now. And these boards are mostly concerned with balanced gameplay for tournaments. And those are about winning, mostly. For many people: in a creative way, and with novel ideas -- but winning still.
It is a distinction that I also don't feel comfortable with -- I'm happy to play and lose, but not at those breakneck speeds of 6-8 turns. I want to participate in the arena, but don't know if I'll ever be able to, in a way that suits my game style.

That, too, of course. I even see that raises issues in my non-competitive play group.
And on topic -- playing
goes quite slowly for me... so many options to keep track of, things to think of...
And time is power.
But it's fun! I love the Borg.
