Both types do involve skill. As for skill tokens being hard to get, I think that’s the point. There should be a range of difficulty so that everyone can get something, and weaker players will have some improvement goals (getting the harder skill tokens). But in general, I think these are supposed to be harder to get. The regular tokens, on the other hand, should be relatively simple most of the time, I think, so that everyone can get them without *too* much difficulty.
