We're starting a cycle for a several episodes where we break down different game mechanisms and discuss what makes them tick and why they're interesting. We're starting with deck building games. We also review Blood of an Englishman, and abstract game done entirely in cards, where two players take the roles of either Jack or the Giant, and the drama of the beanstalks. Come give a listen, and make sure to check back next week for the winner of our Raiders of the North Sea giveaway!
