As with any hobby or game that requires a calculated approach to win, like chess, for example, you could imagine the havoc that would be created when moving your pieces around at random. You most certainly could make moves that take over your opponent’s placements, but unless you make decisions within the game’s rules, you won’t truly be making any progress!

- Advertising venues preferred by those demographics
- Your available adspend for advertising
