Some peeps outside looking in don't understand how we can play a game that only has dots running around. In the age of give me my graphics and animation and give it to me now, some would rather have graphics over a thinking mans game of strategy.
For me dots are a nostalgic deal. The first strategy football game I played was when I was a kid. It was my dads actually, but he let my brother and I play it. I forget the name of it, but it was virtually a box with a light bulb in it.
Both the offense and defense had these large cards of plays. Each card represented a football field. The defenses cards had dots all over it and the offenses cards had a jagged line going down the field. The offense would put their chosen play card in the box and then the defense would put theirs on top of the offenses card. Then you would pull back this slider that would light up the offenses jagged line and when it reached a dot the play was dead right there. You'd see how many yards were gained and move a slider on a football field to see where you are at. And of course change the down marker and score as needed. Spent hours on that game. Have loved dots ever since.
So that's my story, but what attracts you to the glorious dots?
