#262 Diving into Co-op Card Games with MJ Newman
MJ Newman joins Dirk and David to discuss co-op card games and her work on the Lord of the Rings and Arkham Horror LCGs published by Fantasy Flight Games. They talk about how these co-op games are designed compared to a competitive collectable card game, and how MJ\u2019s love for narrative led to a stronger RPG-like aspect to the games she worked on. Finally, the game discusses some of the considerations when designing a Lovecraftian game\u2014from the question of how to incorporate combat to the question of how to adapt the genre while avoiding the horror author\u2019s problematic ideas.
