Ep. 102 - The ”Legendary Rule”
Wednesday Aug 02, 2023
Wednesday Aug 02, 2023
Kind of surprised we haven't devoted a podcast episode to this topic yet, to be quite honest. In todays episode, we talk all about the "Legendary Rule." This term was coined by Magic: the Gathering, but this same principle pops up in plenty of other trading card games. Some games call these type of cards "Legendary" some other games call these types of cards "Unique." We talk about the rule, and really how it applies to the design of a card game, and why we think it's interesting. This topic really got started because of a live stream from FFG a few weeks back when they were talking about the design of Star Wars Unlimited. Strap in, and hold on as we talk all about this really cool topic!

Ep. 101 - MSRP & Market Prices in Trading Card Games
Wednesday Jul 26, 2023
Wednesday Jul 26, 2023
Welcome back to Episode #101 of the podcast! Today, we are again talking about a fairly relevant topic in the TCG space, especially right now. We're talking all about MSRP and market pricing in trading card games. Back in episode #68, we talked all about the secondary market in card games, and gave our reasons why it is a good thing to have. However, with the current, for lack of better word, 'debacle' that is the first print run of Disney Lorcana, we felt this was a perfect time to revisit the topic, and this time really hone in on what MSRP is as well as market pricing. We hope you enjoy the discussion, and don't hesitate to let us know what you think!

Ep. 100 - Star Wars Unlimited Deep Dive!
Wednesday Jul 19, 2023
Wednesday Jul 19, 2023
We are at episode #100!! We can't believe we've made it this far, and we couldn't have done it without all you listeners, so thank you so much! Today, we are doing a deep dive into Star Wars Unlimited. When we last talked about this new TCG, we didn't really know much about it. All we knew was this it was a Fantasy Flight Games title, and they were doing a Star Wars card game. Now, we have a lot more information on the game, including Quick Start Rules, and a lot of cards to look at. So with that, we take a close hard look at the game...and we're now super excited about it. Join us!

Ep. 94 - The Quackalope Controversy
Wednesday May 31, 2023
Wednesday May 31, 2023
We've got another doozy of an episode for you all today. On todays episode, we're talking all about some current events. By now, you may be familiar with the most recent Quackalope controversy that's happened over the course of the past week or so. If you haven't, the TLDR is; a relatively large YT channel did some videos, asked for "compensation," and it didn't go down very well at all. Super precise I know, but if you listen to the episode, we do our best to hash it out and give our opinions and takes on the matter. Check the links down below for more context and information as well.

Lastly, just want to remind you all, these are all just our hot takes and opinions. We wish no ill will towards Jesse and his team, and sincerely wish the best for him and his team. We wish the situation was handled a little better, but at the end of the day, we're all human and all make mistakes. Please continue to show grace to all involved, and we will continue to try and do the same as well.

Ep. 93 - Short Term vs. Long Term
Wednesday May 24, 2023
Wednesday May 24, 2023
Got another good topic to discuss this week, and it's kind of a continuation of last weeks episode. In case you missed it, last week we talked a lot about the upcoming Star Wars TCG, Star Wars Unlimited. We're optimistic, but pretty hesitant, as it's coming from FFG, who doesn't have the greatest track record when it comes to Star Wars card games. In that conversation, we touched on companies, their goals, profits etc. One of the things we touched on was winning in the short term and winning in the long term. This came to mind again when watching a recent YouTube video from Linus Sebastion of Linus Tech Tips. He recently released a video saying he was stepping down from the CEO position at LTT, and was a really great video. I encourage you all to go check it out. So watching that video made us revisit this topic, so we hope you enjoy!
