Summary
Trading card games are so hot right now. You've got Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-OH!, Riftbound, One Piece, Lorcana, Flesh & Blood, and, like, a dozen more. The whole economy around TCGs has only been accelerated by millennial nostalgia. With 90s kids cresting into their 40s, they now have the funds to chase that foil Charizard they've always wanted. Well we're on a mission to break into that market. This week we're pitch nostalgic TCGs based on properties that have never come to cardboard. Matt is appealing to a particular type of gamer. Todd is appealing to a particular type of athlete. Kyle is appealing to himself in particular. The title of this week's episode was selected by our Patrons in our Discord Community!
