Hi, bees! Outside of news and politics, what kind of topics would you like to see more on Beehaw? (beehaw.org)

Share your interests, whether niche or common. I've figured news tends to skew negative, and I'd like to see the hive talk about what they love rather than what they hate.

My main hobby is go, aka baduk. But that's like me and a dozen other people in the West.

Would there be space for an abstract board game community? Like chess, go, Othello, hex, and so on?

c/Gaming isn't only for electronic games! Tabletop gaming is welcome too.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

I wasn't aware. I can give it a shot, but I fear the reception isn't going to be "gang-busters" :)

Board games would be a good one!

I could not wrap my head around that game. I feel like I'm placing stones with 60% guesswork. I haven't played much, but I couldn't see the difference between good and bad placement.

I would be thrilled to teach you. Back when I was starting I had the exact same problem, and it pretty much lasted as long as I didn't have someone available to teach me. Alternatively, you can try learning from AI. Back then AIs were not very strong, and absolutely did not play good moves, thankfully they're extremely strong now. However, they might teach you... not bad habits, but very much not rank appropriate ones.

That sounds like an opportunity I'd be foolish to turn away.

How do we make it happen?
