Recross the Paths

All roads lead to cube! In this conversation, Gabor shares about the intersection of gaming, community, and organizing for causes larger than the game. We discuss the Etherium Landscape (a rich, technical Esper desert cube), the accessibility and infectiousness of 5-Alive, Gabor's work in organizing and coordination for a charity event, and much more.

Mirror mirror on the wall, which cards do I want two of this draft? This week, water the weeds guides us through The Hall of Mirrors, a delightful cube where you get to duplicate two cards before games. We discuss championing deck identity beyond archetypes, accessibility options with aesthetic benefits, cube at the intersection of self-expression and empathy, and much more.
