Every post of yours I've read has been dismissive and rude; this entire post reads like someone trying to troll gamers who like chrome, but (on the off-chance you legitimately don't understand it) I'll answer your question.
Some gamers prefer theme over well constructed mechanics, which is why some people prefer dungeon crawlers to heavy turn-optimization worker placement games. Having a well done miniature offers a deeper aesthetic connection to the game than a standee or chit, especially when the focus is on the game experience. OTOH, if the game focuses on heavy mechanics, components can be functional rather than thematic, and cubes are fine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BGG Down" group.
