Okay, now we have an argument in favor of renaming.

Now I can't remember what I said earlier, but if the emphasis is on
the collectible aspect, that's probably the best home for it.  If you
have to build your team or whatever it's called, and there are
strategies for building teams of different types, and there are
commons and rares, it's collectible.  With that kind of set-up, the
board is secondary most of the time.

Something else for our History section -- what's the origin of the
Strategicon name?
