Trying to plan for a (text-based) civilization-type game with friends makes me wish I knew more about ancient history, anthropology, economics, etc.
There's just so much that I don't know, and so much attention to detail that I'd like to give but don't know if I can without a lot of research that I may not have the time to do. On the plus side, I like that just the thought of playing this game is driving my intellectual curiosity in directions that I haven't traveled in a while. It seems like the best way to learn stuff is to make it personally relevant somehow.
