We welcome AnnaMaria Phelps of Violet Daisy games to discuss their latest offering on the altar of games: Epilogue. Then we theologize on the worthiness of Cult of the Lamb, the video game of crusades and communes. We discuss how it synthesizes its two game modes, the art of Kimo-Kawaii and whether it’s possible to run an ethical cult.

Cult of the Lamb

Daniel and Mark rip open some packs of Disney’s Lorcana, a trading card game from boardgame and puzzle publisher Ravensburger. We discuss how the game has developed from a famously rocky launch, to a seasoned game in the last year since its release. Does Lorcana have enough new and interesting gameplay to distinguish it from the rest of the pack? Or has the magic evaporated like Cinderella’s carriage at midnight?
