title: HTML5 game without Canvas?
body: <p>I'm looking into writing my first HTML5 game, and everything I see talks about Canvas, and then goes on to talk about things like events, game loops, etc.</p>
  
  <p>I'm planning on making a board game, where all the images are laid out on a grid. There doesn't need to be a game loop happening, because everything will just sit there just how it is until the user interacts with the game. And because the images for the board and pieces are laid out on a grid, I could just as easily (as far as I can tell) use  tags, laid out with standard CSS, instead of drawing it all into a canvas element.</p>
  
  <p>So is there a reason I should bother with canvas here? Does it make sense to just use "normal  webpage" HTML elements to create my game interface?</p>
