Episode 241: Sitting Down With ... Al Wilson!
2026/02/05
Guest: Al Wilson (3d6 Gaming)Topic: FDF Fantasy Draft (Fast Drive Football – Fantasy Draft Expansion)Format: Pre-recorded interview (no “Around the Table” segment this week)
Draft Day chaos… but on the tabletop. In this episode, I’m joined by Al Wilson of 3d6 Gaming to talk about FDF Fantasy Draft, an expansion that turns Fast Drive Football into a head-to-head (or solo) experience built around a 5-round fantasy draft, where the players you select define your team and strategy cards help shape outcomes.
The “why” behind creating a Draft-Day-focused expansion and who it’s designed for (competitive play, conventions, game night, and solo options)
How the 5-round draft works and how picks translate into team identity
Using strategy cards to influence outcomes and create big Draft Day swing moments
Solo play: the built-in solitaire opponents concept and replay value
Practical talk: playtime expectations, learning curve, and what you need to own to use the expansion
