A very special episode where we unofficially announce our new project, Bite the Ground, a Western-themed card game.

We discuss brainstorming and development process, from initial ideas at the Niagara Falls Comic-Con to prototyping the game. The game has a balance of simplicity and complexity in its design that we're excited to share with everyone soon.
