Come along and enjoy the spoiler season conversation!

Today, we've got a pretty interesting topic to touch on, and that is How to NOT Launch a TCG! There are a LOT of new trading card games coming to the market recently, some of them are starting off on the right foot, and some are not. We give our thoughts on what we see going on, and try to give some insight on we think you should NOT do if you want to launch one. Hope you enjoy the episode!

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.

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!

Well...we finally have the basic rules for Disney Lorcana. At times, it seemed liked we may never get here, but here we are! Todays episode is a return to form of sorts. Since the rules release, we have been really digging into, conversing over, and just really thinking long and hard about how we feel about the game now. The long and short of it, we think Lorcana is going to be a fantastic game, and are looking forward to where this game goes. Sit back as we go over all of our initial thoughts of the Disney Lorcana rules set!
