If I wanted to play a board type game I wouldnt be playing a computer game.
Whereas GC2 defines exactly how the game is to be played and then does it very well.
Isn't that exactly what a board game is? Defines exactly how the game is to be played, due to the very nature of a board game? Board games intrinsically more limited than what you can do with computer games.
