    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.

    Ep. 93 - Short Term vs. Long Term

    Play Episode Listen Later May 24, 2023 87:24


    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!

    We've got a doozy of an episode for you this week? We are talking all about one of our favorite things here at hobbies + happiness...and that is community. We really love the communities that we are a part of. Many of them have helped shaped who we are as people. Many of them have gotten us all to where we are today. Some may say, we wouldn't be where we are without our community. Well, today we ask the question...does community really matter though? Hope you enjoy the conversation.

    This weeks episode is a more broad scoped topic, and applies to all card games...at least in our opinion. Today we are talking about 3 keys to successful card games. This topic originally started as a topic covering cards from a playability or collectability standpoint, but then quickly changed into this topic, as we thought we can really nail it down a bit further.

    This weeks topic we thought was kind of a meme...which it kind of is. But upon further inspection and conversation, we realized that maybe it's not? Okay, so the conversation started by checking out a meme in the Disney Lorcana HQ Discord about Lorcana being a part of the "Big 3" of card games. We looked at the meme, laughed a little bit...but then we started thinking. Check out the episode and think along with us...hear us out.
