February 15, 2024 Unpacking Murders at Karlov Manor!
Unpacking is a segment where we go totally blind into a pack and just break down the cards we see, as we see them. Usually we do this with older or custom sets, but Kayiu had the great idea of going blind into the new Murders at Karlov Manor set! What do we learn from just 14 cards?
