- TCG Design Theory — 06 — Card Movement & Positioning in TCGs with Alex Miller ( Genesis: Battle Of Champions TCG )On this episode of TCG Design Theory, Jay talks to Alex Miller, lead designer of Genesis: Battle of Champions TCG. An often overlooked area in trading card games is movement and positioning. There are usually zones on the playing field, but rarely do we see games that allow you to move your cards as if they're on a board. Perhaps the reason few games attempt to use card movement is because it adds too much complexity. Or perhaps movement mechanics in trading card games have yet to really be explored. Either way, there's no doubt that it offers TCG creators many possibilities when it comes to fun and fresh designs.

- TCG Design Theory — 05 — TCG Resource Systems with Steve Sekula ( GemBlenders TCG )On this episode of TCG Design Theory, Jay talks to Gem Blender TCG’s creator, Steve Sekula, about designing resource systems and mechanics. Arguably the most important design aspect of your trading card game is how the resource system works. How do players actually play the cards? How do you implement your resource mechanics in a way that fits within your story or lore? Resources can take many forms, such as cards in your deck, specific rules restrictions, as well as being automatically given at the start of your turn. Designing your resource system to work seamlessly with your other mechanics is crucial to a smooth gameplay experience.

- TCG Design Theory — 03 — Designing a TCG around a Theme with Ridge Kiley ( ALPHA CLASH TCG )On this episode of TCG Design Theory, Jay talks to Alpha Clash TCG’s lead designer, Ridge Kiley, about designing around theme. Trading card games typically center around an already established world or IP, which provides a framework for the game’s design. However, it can sometimes prove to be difficult to stay true to the source material. Maintaining the balance between your game’s mechanics and how it relates to your lore is both a challenging and rewarding aspect of game design.
