Episode 571: Games with Multi-Use cards - Show Notes Andy

Episode release date is March 19, 2025

 

This week we kick off our discussion of games with Multi-Use cards. A fascinating mechanic that adds layers of strategic depth and decision-making, and one we love very much.  Instead of a card having only one specific function, multi-use cards can be used in different ways, offering players choices about how to best utilize them. This could involve:

• Playing the card for its stated effect: 

• Using the card as a resource: 

• Using the card for set collection or scoring: 

• Using the card to build something: 

Why Use Multi-Use Cards?

• Increased Strategic Depth: 

• Reduced Luck Factor: 

• Greater Replayability:

• Thematic Immersion:
