I love me some FAB and collectable tcgs, but for me the ffg Arkham model is the best of all time at the moment. Might just be my gen X age showing but I really dig the slower release schedule. I2 would really love to see Arkham reprint the novel characters and maybe all the parallels in a big alternate investigator box, that's not print on demand, but off the shelf box.

I chimed in on one of the prior videos about how I feel lots of rapid comments popping up on screen while a discussion was ongoing was very distracting. I just wanted to say that I much prefer how it was handled in this video. I thought that the pop ups were minimized during the 1 on 1 discussion portion. I think the pop up tech works really well when Zach and Steven are directly engaging in conversation with chat. I'm sure it's difficult to do that dance, and save good comments/questions for when the discussion gets opened up to chat. Well done!

Great episode. Thank you guys. Love a Covenent Live after work and I'm taking care of chores and eating. I did really love the question of would you reprint SWU on a 3 month timeline. For me, absolutely. Likely and easy 50 or 75 percent of the original run. Given the games 4 month release cycle it would be the perfect tie in to set 2. Allow people to get a few boxes of one and immediately mix that into their set 2 buys the next month. I know for me I'm having super fomo having not gotten a few boxes yesterday.

I really appreciate the insights on this topic! I would also like to see you two talk shop with Andrew Navarro in another cast!! As a game player, I'd rather see publishers reprint product so that the game itself can exist and be played. Making a game too expensive because supply is low or bought up by scalpers/"investors" playing the secondary market isn't player-friendly, but I think that's why the LCG topic is tangentially related. LCG supports the individual player by getting product, but at a cost to the publisher and flexibility on how the game can be enjoyed in other ways besides playing, such as the gambling or draft aspects to them. Personally the gambling/secondary market and draft isn't something I get much out of, but stores and publishers seem to benefit. A game that's not reprinted and hard to get is just going to be ignored by players like me unless enough product is available years later, or if the game is so good compared to what else I could be spending time and money on that it ends up still being worth secondary market prices to acquire and play.

I never thought of it, but I couldn't afford to buy packs as a youngling, so I only bought pre-constructed starters growing up in ccgs. It seemed like more value for money back then (tho that's obviously debatable). But I think that got me prepped for an LCG style game. You buy a box. You know exactly what's in the box. You know you can play a fun game. I'm not driven to buy boxes or packs. I usually buy singles. Maybe my formative years are why.

On the subject of CCGs and why they work better than LCGs: People value things that are hard to get higher than things that are easy to get. An athletic body is not easy to get and is seen as desirable. The same applies to professions such as doctors, scientists or managers. The same goes for things; cars, houses, gold and so on. To come back to the games. I have the game CATAN and I love playing it. However, the physical game has no great value for me. If I lose it or it breaks, I can easily get a new one. All my friends can also buy CATAN and have exactly the same as me. So it's very easy to own CATAN and that makes it less valuable. My trading cards are valuable because they are harder to get. You have to open boxes or trade or buy them online to have them. Nobody can just pay a fixed amount and have the exact same cards that I have. That's why my trading cards are in sleeves and my CATAN cards are not. I think that's one of the reasons why the market for CCGs is so much bigger than for LCGs. It's not the money the cards are worth that make them valuble it's the value that makes them cost more money.

Great discussion, thanks! Speaking of drafting LCGs, I looked into the Ashes rules for drafting and can't wait to try it! Drafting a set card pool essentially turns it into a cube, which imo is the sweet spot of variance and affordability. Anything I should know before drafting Ashes?

Has any collectible game ever actually reprinted "too much" and gone under as a direct result? I don't actually know, just curious. Edit: Besides the business going bankrupt. I mean specifically because player interest dropped due to collectibility being impacted negatively

It's such a good question. We posted it in our Discord and have had an excellent discussion - join us at cov.link/discord There may not be a super clear example, which is very relevant to this convo. It's mentioned as a hazard constantly-but what if it isn't real? The difficult part is that a great many games that failed are likely to be due to overprinting, and that's often in the form of reprinting, but we don't see that as the exact reason because there's a fog of war with a lot of decisions that happen at the end of a game's life. Easy example of reprinting going wrong, but not disastrously, are the Unlimited model for FAB, which was a "reprint" of First Edition (Aria Unlimited boxes are $45 on TCGPlayer, 1e are the same, then Monarch, and the never seen Everfest). Destiny had a similar reprint issue with its first set but that was an issue because it pushed the second set back, not because investors fled from the game. I guess we'd need to see P&L statements from publishers after reprints. Sales volume may well go down from the collector/investor folks but most of us wouldn't even know it. Has it explicitly killed a game? Maybe not instantly, but it may kick off the decline. Difficult stuff!
