Let's face it - when you sleep in class, you're not exactly giving off the impression that you're smart. I'm judging by face value at the moment until something new about Jaune crops up, because really, there is nothing new about Jaune (other than new materials of him being the joke end of things, as usual).

Again, we did not get to see him play the Remnant Game. For all he know he's an even worse player than Weiss who manages to lose in just 3 turns. Using his Grimm fighting coolness to determine his board game affinity is not what I call equivalent. Again, strategy is a ridiculously broad term.

Next, how about we actually talk about the world building conveyed through the board game? Does anyone realize that employing the Grimm is actually a tactic in 'conquering Remnant'? Atlas relies mainly on its androids, but Yang's country (I forgot the name, Haven?) uses mostly the Grimm as its soldier pieces (Ursi, Nevermore).

Does that mean Haven has the ability to manipulate the Grimm to a degree?

Yatsuhashi probably came from Vacuo because looks (means I completely pull that out of my arse). Natural resistance against hazards, naturally buffed soldiers? If this isn't a card/board game I'd be calling OP already.

And Vale. They just have to keep silent about Vale and not reveal any secrets or traits it has. So sad.
