Fae Cube Pack 1, Pick 1

Andy and Anthony and special guest May talk about introducing your cube! The overview you write (or present) to your players is the first thing players often lean about your cube, so providing useful concise context is critical. They talk about the different audiences you may want to consider when writing about your cube, including players who want to get ready to draft and other designers looking to give feedback on the list.

They end the show with a pack 1, pick 1 from May’s very own Fae Cube, a flavorful, fairytale inspired list.
