Episode 205 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Drawing Cards

It's an OG host episode, with the twist that Jake made the notes for once (with a little help from our discordians). In this episode Jake and Brendan talk about drawing cards in board games in two parts. Part one is all the reasons why drawing cards is so much fun. Part two is a discussion of the levers that designers can pull when designing card draw into their games.
