Yes if it feels like I played something substantial, especially if there is discord chat. No if I am just aimlessly clicking buttons. Sorry, I know that's an ambiguous reply.

Once you realize everything is a grunt, being the lunk is the only thing that makes sense.

I do think this system is more of a failsafe for when people get into the "I don't know, what do you want to play" mode. It shouldn't be the go-to for the reasons you discussed on the cast.

"It's about having the options!" My response whenever someone points out I brought two bags of games to game night.

Pros: everyone has a say without the pressure of picking a single game, and it allows folks who are less vocal to have a voice.

Cons: it can sometimes lead to a very "safe" pick, and it relies on a confident curator who can pick the starting group of games.

@ava.foxfort.net @giantbrain.co.uk re choosing what to play:

If we get stuck, our group uses a reverse draft. One person picks as many games as there are players. Then we go around the table each removing one game. The game left over is the one we play.
