Foundations Community Set Review

View all cards mentioned in this episode

Andy, Anthony, and Parker review the results of the Foundations Cube Community survey. They talk through the top cards that have Cube designers most excited and theorize about what’s catching people’s interest and some of the patterns in the results. They talk about the associated Jump Start set with one major stand out: Scythecat Cub which is apparently both highly anticipated and polarizing. Finally, they can’t help but talk about the trends, stand outs, and misses in the new set’s artwork.

We’ve chosen Playing Oppression for our next Book Club episode. We’ll be reading the book and discussing it in an episode after the holidays. Pick up a copy if you want to read along with us!
