I used to say this until I got into cube. Cubes are super fun, don’t cost anything for the other players (and not much for the owner depending on the cards), totally remove the issues around the meta, and only require that players are familiar with the game and a few hundred cards (or less, I have a 2-4 player cube with only about 45 unique cards that’s a ton of fun). Still not for everyone but it has made me willing to recommend my favorite game to anyone who I think will like it.

I definitely think that RCV is a step in the right direction, but I’m also interested to see where Fusion Voting goes. It also helped Mamdani get elected. Lee Drutman has written some interesting stuff about it: https://leedrutman.substack.com/p/how-fusion-voting-builds-the-new

Volts had a good podcast about this: https://www.volts.wtf/p/can-second-life-ev-batteries-work
