453: The Ultimate Guide to Exploration
2026/04/22
Our first ultimate guide is here! This week Hunter and El Blasto give you every single thing you would ever want to know about Exploration. Each card gets its' due as the boys wax and whine over the nitty gritty details of this system that was introduced during the POK era. It's a simple topic but we really nail it, check it out!

452: Twilight's Fall Inaugural Splice *Mock Draft*
2026/04/15
I hope you didn't think we were done with Twilight's Fall content, because we have no intention of stopping! This week we're trying something experimental that I enjoyed quite a bit, we decided to actually simulate an inaugural splice so we talk through some of the decision making process that goes into the initial draft. It's really clear in talking through it that there is a lot of difficult decisions to be made in this game mode. I really want to continue encouraging people to try it as it's an extremely fun way to experience this game. Anyways if you are confused by what we're talking about in this episode I would check out episode 427 about the Twilight's Fall rulebook. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

SCPT Interview: Arcs Beyond the Reach Designers Cole Wehrle and Josh Yearsley
2026/04/09
Arcs is back baby! This week I've got Cole and Josh of Buried Giant Studios on to talk about the future of the best space opera competitive strategy game that isn't called Twilight Imperium. They've really out done themselves with the promise of new leaders, new fates, a new draft system reminiscent of the advanced setup rules for Root and perhaps even secret conversations. It's a new dawn for Arcs and I'm excited to see how it develops.  Check out the kickstarter here: Arcs: Beyond the Reach Kickstarter Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Hey hey! I've got a bonus episode for you all this week. This extra episode is an in-depth interview with the designer of The Old King's Crown Pablo Clark.

449: The Firmament/Obsidian Beginner's Guide
2026/03/25
This week we finally reach the end of our first pass on everything new included in the Thunder's Edge expansion! Only about six months to talk about everything. We've been very specific about it to, I think we've saved the best for last. The Firmament is far from the greatest faction but I think what they bring to the table is so fresh that it's just too exciting to ignore. So sit down with Me and Blasto as we wax poetic on what works and what doesn't and remember to keep an open mind, there was a time that factions like Arborec and Yin were considered bad and then as our understanding evolves we realize that they aren't bad, they're just mid. Maybe that will be the case here! The Old King's Crown Campaign page: The Old King's Crown Second Printing and New Songs of Home Expansion Music provided by Ben Prunty.

448: Twilight's Fall Genomes and Paradigms Overview
2026/03/19
Our final component overview episode for Twilight's Fall! From here on out it's gonna get weirder and more specific so study up this week with Hunter and Blasto as they sit down again for another absolute barn burner of an overview. Every single Genome and Paradigm is spoken aloud into our microphones. I hope you have been following along with the Twilight's Fall episodes because going forward we're going to be changing how we cover this stuff and it's going to get more specific and complicated. This will all be on the test! The Old King's Crown Campaign page: The Old King's Crown Second Printing and New Songs of Home Expansion Music provided by Ben Prunty.

443: Coexistence Overview and Rules Questions! (WITH ANSWERS)
2026/02/11
You've got questions, we've got answers. This week we've got Andcat back on the show and he has convened with a secret cabal of Rules Lawyers in order to dig deep on one of the big new rules concepts that you need to know in advance of the next big faction guide! This is a weird nitty gritty episode but I feel like it's fascinating if you wanna jump into the muck of new interactions that frequently come up. Consider this episode a preview of the hotly anticipated living rules reference update!
