Cheese Two Ways

Andy and Anthony dig into two kinds of cheese: “cheesing people out” in games of Magic and how to serve it up when hosting game nights. They talk about moments in games where it feels like one player steals a game that they shouldn’t have won. Are these positive or negative experiences and how can we curate Cubes to enable to discourage them?

Next they talk about how they approach hosting and cooking for groups, discussing the things to consider and some of the meals and approaches that work best.
