doesn’t seem necessary. i don’t believe beginner variants aren’t particularly useful

I'd quibble. This isn't really an "experienced" variant, it's just brutal. There's a difference.

This seems to imply 1889 and 18Tokaido are not otherwise good learning games (I think they are). If I'm making this change I'd just list out those four and leave it at that, if there's a beginner variant they can select it (or not).

I guess it's not happening anyway, but I had quibbles.
