Ep. 111 - The Neverending Saga of Competitive vs. Casual
The title of this episode could just as easily be "This is the Song that Never Ends..." Anyone else remember that song from your childhood? No? Just me? K...😂🤣 There was some interesting discussions on Twitter this past week regarding toxicity in gaming communities, and as is usually the case, some folks brought up the saga of competitive players and casual players being able to co-exist in a game. So, we decided to bring up the topic once again and give our thoughts and takes. We've talked about this topic plenty on the podcast already (see episode #47), but wanted to hopefully bring some new discussion to the table. Let us know what you think! We hope you enjoy the discussion!

Ep. 110 - Scalpers are...a Good Thing???
This episode may get a little bit...shall we say controversial??? We hope not. But today we talk about a topic that is typically a pretty heated and over zealous topic, especially in the world of TCGs. So today, like always, we invite you to sit back, try to relax...and maybe not blow a blood vessel. 😅

Ep. 107 - The ”Natural” Evolution of Card Games and Design
Another week, another conversation born from a debate/discussion between the two of us during the course of playing a card game 😂. This week, we discuss the "evolution" of a TCG in the game itself and design of the game over time. We discuss a little bit of power creep, gameplay fundamentals, and really whether or not Disney Lorcana is going to have equippable item cards in the future. We hope you enjoy the discussion!

Customer Reviews
Well rounded podcast
Fun listen, the guys know there stuff about table top games, and know how to share the information in an interesting and fun manner.
Like a roller coaster
Episode three was an excellent for the most part. I suggested a friend listen to it. he’s trying to get into collectible card games as well. i’ve been playing magic since 93, so I know the ins and outs. when describing the five different colors of magic of magic the gathering. they kind of go into guilds instead of describing what the actual colors do. or name dropping a lot of different cards that only experience players would know.My friend asked me about these colors so I went into detail about it which does what. I also collected and play the World of Warcraft trading card game as well. Later down the road it became a digital game called Hearthstone. all in all I recommend a listen but you’ll have to do a lot of digging and rabbit holes looking for a name dropped cards mentioned in the episode.
Good information
It is really nice to get such a wide variety on games. These 2 guys know their stuff whether it is board, card, or video games.
