THIS EPISODE IS A PART OF TBPN's CELEBRATION OF 30 YEARS OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING (1993-2023)

On this Rare Slot, Rands is joined by Magic: The Gathering historian, eclectic cardboard collector and trained pressman—Ryan W. Rooks—to discuss a variety of Magic: The Gathering cards that should not have ever existed. Thats right these cards were either made in error, or never intended to reach the public's hands.

Furthermore, during the journey that Ryan takes us on we learn about some very intimate parts of the card printing process... and the mistakes that can get made along the way.

On this episode of TCG Design Theory, Jay talks to Joey Senart, who has over a decade of marketing experience with several well-known companies.

How important is marketing when trying to launch and grow a trading card game? How does your marketing approach change once your game launches successfully?

Joey discusses what he thinks can be a simple and effective marketing strategy for small-time creators, as well as giving examples of what that looks like in a practical sense.

On this episode of TCG Design Theory, Jay talks to Anya Combs, Tabletop Account Manager at BackerKit.

The past few years have brought countless new TCGs to the marketplace, and that has been made possible primarily due to crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter.

With so many trading card games being brought to life with crowdfunding, and with more and more crowdfunding platforms popping up, it can be difficult to not only navigate how to run a campaign, but also which site to choose.
