In a "strategic realignment" by Asmodee, all current FFG miniatures games (that, importantly, also happen to be Star Wars games) have moved to Atomic Mass, the Asmodee-owned studio responsible for Marvel: Crisis Protocol. What does it all mean? Join us for an episode of pure speculation.

157: Industry Insight - Flesh and Blood TCG Founder, James White Nov 22, 2020

Show notes

James White started Legend Story Studios to launch the Flesh and Blood TCG in 2019, after over seven years of development. But like so many publishers, 2020 became a crucible of determination and adaptation. Surprisingly, though, the game is now growing by leaps and bounds - and according to James, the next set, Monarch, is when the system becomes fully realized for the first time. Join us for a fascinating discussion with the driving force behind what may be the next big TCG.

156: The Breakthrough Moments Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

Last week's Ashes stream was filled with an excitement that is familiar to most of us - the moment when you see behind the curtain, when your understanding of a game is catapulted into new territory that reveals previously unknown possibilities. The best games find ways to create those moments over, and over, and over, while others lose steam before those eureka moments can take place. Join us for a discussion about these breakthroughs, and how they happen. Find all previous casts, as well as products, subscriptions, and blogs, on our website: https://teamcovenant.com
