    3: CCG's with Rev's Geek Out
    Dec 5 2024
    This episode I'm joined with Justin aka The Reverend En Fuego (Host of Rev's Geek Out) to talk about our love for, and history with, Collectible Card Games. We spend a bit of time talking about the first CCG, Fighting Fantasy Battle Cards by Steve Jackson, before diving into Rev's history with Magic: The Gathering and it's different itterations. Afterwards we dig into some of the more obscure games we've played, talk about our experiences with tournament play, discuss the love/hate of online CCG's with Marvel Snap and the new Pokemon Card Game, and round things out with some recommendations for the newer CCG's I've checked out.
