Axis by axis

Execution0 vs 1

Reigns leans harder on execution: Swiping cards left or right has no skill dimension

Reads0 vs 2

Reigns leans harder on reads: Card characters react to prior choices in semi-scripted ways

Variance7 vs 7

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization4 vs 5

Reigns leans harder on optimization: Learning which choice chains balance the four meters is mappable
