Captain of the Watch

Farsightedness: The Butterfly Effect states that a butterfly that flaps its wings in Malaysia could cause a typhoon in British Columbia. So too could minor variations in one part of the board affect play across the board. The Captain of Watch asesses the board for all possible impacts - both immediate and long-term.

"The goal is to win but it is the goal that is important not the winning."

I'd been trying to recall this quote for a while, and then today it popped up again on a BGG thread about winning and losing.

From Reiner Knizia, noted board game designer:

"The goal is to win but it is the goal that is important not the winning."
