Finally catching up with this. Tough draft & the GMs played it gingerly as they both love Altman. Like @mitchellbeaupre.bsky.social, I’m a QUINTET fan so was a touched bummed with its placement (though I understand it). Looking forward to the other parts!
The competitive / collaborative construction of the longest list in show history begins TODAY!
