by Mrs. Saint Sixteen months ago, Brad and I (Jess) published our tenth episode of our podcast: Game Night with the Saints. If you had told us then that we wouldn’t have had our next episode out for you on track two weeks later, I would have laughed. Then life happened.

A New Challenger: Cammy
By Mr. Saint Cammy, as a character in the Street Fighter universe, has enjoyed enduring appeal.

A New Challenger: Prepare
By Mr. Saint Cards in hand are good. Cards in hand are important. Cards, whether they be in your hand or deck, are one of the resources that make Exceed’s in-game engine hum (the other two resources being gauge and life respectively).

It is a style defined by faster, longContinue reading “A New Challenger: Mole Knight”
A New Challenger: Shovel & Shield Knight
By Mr. Saint The dynamic duo! The perfect pair! The tandem twosome! Ok, I’ll stop. Shovel and Shield Knight have been affectionately nicknamed EXSK by the Level 99 Exceed Discord, because two knights whose names both start with S would naturally combine to form an EX character (I will at times be using this abbreviationContinue reading “A New Challenger: Shovel & Shield Knight”
Board Game Bites for New Gamers: Deck Building
by Mrs. Saint We’ve placed our workers and drafted our dice, but now we have an architectural challenge, we must build a deck.
