I'm pulling out of the driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work.

Okay, so today I'm going to talk about evolution, the evolution of game design than it is, actually of magic design.

So one of the things that's interesting, I mean, one of the, one of the vantage points that I have that's kind of unique in game design is that I've worked on the same game for my whole career.

And that magic is a game, like most games when you make the game, at least old school, most games, like you made the game, it was the game and you're done.

Like, it's monopoly. Here you go. Here's the board. There's the pieces.

And there's not too much evolution to Monopoly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The board has been changed a few times.

Visually, they've cleaned up the rules a little bit.

There's been a few tiny, you know, changes. But pretty much, what Monopoly was was introduced, you know, or first became a big public

game and now, not that different.

Now, magic is different in two ways.

One is that we keep creating new content.

Well, there are definitely no games that do that.

You know, like Dungeon Dragons, for example, it falls in that game.

There's games that predate Magic that do this.

But magic is somewhat unique in that.

It keeps creating new content, and that it's...

That the new content is very strategically oriented.

That these are the pieces of the game.

You know, something like Dungeon Dragons gives you tools to use, but in a lot of ways,

dungeon dragons, I mean, I guess Dungeons has evolved plenty too.

That's maybe somebody on Dungeons Dragons can do that podcast.
