Welcome back after an extended break! We hope you all had an enjoyable July 4th holiday, especially if you're in the states! In any event, we are back with another great episode for you. This topic came up in a pretty interesting way (a way in which we talk about in the episode 😁), and when we started talking about the topic, we immediately stopped talking about it and said, "This will make a great podcast topic!" So here we are! We're talking all about rules sets and formats for card games, and even board games today. The conversation really started as a way to figure out how to run a good tournament for different games, instead of the (Magic typical) bring 1 deck plus a sideboard. So we went from there. We hope you enjoy the episode, and we're really interested to know your opinions!

Ep. 51 - How to Find Your Playgroup

Really interesting episode for you all today! In this episode, we discuss one of our recent gameplay videos in which Jim basically just dominated Dan in a game of Here to Slay...and Jim was really the only player having much fun. If you saw the video, you know which one I'm talking about! 😂😂 While we really did have a good time, we started to have a pretty good discussion on how each of us have fun, and our different types of playstyles, so we wanted to dive deeper in that discussion on this episode. Strap in, and get ready for a great discussion!

Ep. 49 - Spirit Duels with Designer Daniel Miller

In today's episode of the podcast, we wanted to talk about a topic we really haven't touched on yet, and that is tournament preparations! We have a few tournaments coming up for us in our local area, so we are currently starting to prepare for them, so we thought we'd start talking about the process! If you've never prepared for a tournament before, we're go through our process, as well as some tips that we think everyone should look at and consider when they prepare for tournaments themselves.

In today's episode of the podcast, we wanted to talk about a topic we really haven't touched on yet, and that is tournament preparations! We have a few tournaments coming up for us in our local area, so we are currently starting to prepare for them, so we thought we'd start talking about the process! If you've never prepared for a tournament before, we're go through our process, as well as some tips that we think everyone should look at and consider when they prepare for tournaments themselves.

Ep. 48 - Preparing for Tournaments

Join two friends Dan &amp; Jim as they discuss their love for all things tabletop gaming. Each episode will delve into a topic revolving around some aspect of the tabletop hobby. Dan and Jim have been friends for years who met at their friendly local game store, and bonded quickly over their shared enjoyment of the hobby.

We've got a really great episode for you all today! On this episode of the podcast, we dive into the heavily debated topic, the difference between casual gaming and competitive gaming. After bringing up this topic somewhat off handedly in Episode #45, we really started to ask more and more questions, and really dive into the topic more. Eventually, we really started to ask, can a game exist itself and just be either a casual game or a competitive game? Through talking about it, we realized that this was really a very nuanced topic, and wanted to give it the attention we thought it deserved. Hope you enjoy!

Ep. 47 - Competitive vs. Casual Games

Today's topic is a doozy! If you've been into card gaming for any length of time, you most likely heard of the term netdecking. In fact, we started talking a little bit about this topic in Episode #42 when we were talking about Marvel Champions and why we enjoyed that game. We did say that we would dive deeper into the topic of netdecking, and here is that episode. If you've heard of the term netdecking, you may be familiar with its negative connotation in the world of card gaming, and we think that it is garbage 😂. In this episode we go over what netdecking is, and why we think it is a good practice to do in card gaming. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

Ep. 46 - Netdecking

Today's topic is one that we started in last weeks episode with Sam Smith where we began talking about the idea that not all games were made with me in mind. Last week the topic was brought up in speaking about Disney Villainous and how it was very much designed with the casual and family audience in mind, not the overly strategic thinking audience. Being the very strategic players that we are, we can tend to take the games that we play and play, analyze and try and enjoy them through that strategic mindset. We flesh out that idea and concept in this episode. We hope you enjoy!

Today we have a pretty different(ish) and very interesting conversation for you all! Today we're talking about why cards get banned in different card games? If you're not involved in the Magic: The Gathering scene, Wizards of the Coast just recently made a banned and restricted announcement. We thought this would be a really good opportunity to discuss why these types of announcements occur, and why cards get banned generally speaking. This conversation is centered around Magic, but this topic and concepts apply to just about all competitive card games. We hope you enjoy!
