       | Fantasy sports are a great way to foster/maintain adult long-
       | distance friendships too. I find standard fantasy pretty boring,
       | but it can become a very interesting strategy game with a two
       | tweaks:
       | 
       | 1. Teams carry a significant number of "keeper" slots each
       | offseason (maybe 1/3-1/2 of total roster size).
       | 
       | 2. EVERYTHING is tradeable-- players, picks, FAB, keeper slots...
       | everything.
       | 
       | Together these conditions allow teams to play with different
       | strategies and on different time horizons, opening up a lot of
       | innovative wheeling and dealing.

       | Oliver - Last Week Tonight some years back and he kinda presented
       | it as a gateway to gambling:
