Episode 10: The Beauty of Card-Driven Games, with Uli from Spielworxx

In this episode, I kick it with Uli Blennemann (owner of Spielworxx) for a lovely chat about card-driven games (CDGs) –why they're awesome and which ones we dig most – and we also discuss a few games we've played recently and found memorable. Cheers!
