Normal Game Balance

[mastina]

For what it's worth, there are plenty of normal game reviews where the reviewers will describe things as swingy but balanced.

(For the record, about 90% of my reviews tend to have this line in them because there are very very very very few games run that're low on swing while being balanced. It's impossible to get rid of swing altogether, but swingy-as-fuck setups are by far the norm. I'd actually be happy with less-swingy setups, but that's on the setup designers, not the setup reviewers, because reviewers should work with the moderator's design intention and if the moderator wants an intention that has inherent swing to it, which they almost always do, then the result will always be swingy.)
