Intro Banter: The guys catch up with very exciting news from the world of gaming, and the...world in general. Alex is back! And we have a LOT of incoming things to discuss.

 

Mainstream Maturation -  We look at a title that has been out for a while, and may have not gotten a favorable look from us in the past. We revisit said title and speak on the finer points of how the game has matured and why we now like it, this Episode:

Upper Decks Legendary System

 

Project Play - the hosts pick an ambitious and far reaching goal and see it through and chronicle it for the show! Over the next few episodes Alex and I are going to obtain, play and chronicle Intro into miniature gaming! Starting with Fantasy Flights X-Wing!! We will look at price point, ease to obtain, play and  storage requirements. Then we dive deeper all episode!

 

A deeper look - We pick a game (each) and do a deeper dive into the title. Not a review but speaking to the mechanics of it, NOTING any challenges in obtaining said title. This Episode: Fantasy Flights X-Wing!!

 

On the table - We will examine what the game is like when played, we need to personify that experience, this should be impersonal experience wise, but cover angles and what to expect from the title, cover components, setting, rules and the overall atmosphere.
