Jala is joined by Raúl and Simón in discussing ways we learned our heritage and how we pass it down to the next generation, or share it with others. We discuss the manner in which this transmission is akin to a lossy facsimile, as well as how it morphs over time.

Jala is joined by Dennis Furia of Furia Games to discuss his card game, Deck of Wonders. Deck of Wonders is a solo (and co-op) legacy expandable card game where Fate herself has stacked the deck against you. It captures the feel of other popular Collectable Card Games, but in a solitaire format that evolves as you play! Both you and the Villain will draw from the same deck, meaning every card you include is a double-edged sword.
