I'm pulling out of the parking lot.

We all know what that means.

Actually, we probably don't all know what that means.

It means I dropped my daughter off at school today, but it still is time for drive to work.

So today, well, yesterday, last podcast, I started talking about lenticular design,

which is a concept that we've been working on a couple of different years based out of our work on New World Order.

And last time I talked about sort of what lenticular design was, but I hadn't finished.

And so today I'm going to talk about sort of the rules for using lenticular design.

What does it mean to actually how do you use it? And there are six rules.

This is based on an article that I had written. Very shortly ago published to me, but since this is

many weeks later, over a month ago for you. Okay, so let's start with the very first rule. Rule

number one is some complexities are invisible to inexperienced players.

So the thing I explained last time was that there are three types of complexity.

There's comprehension complexity. Can you read the card and understand what it does?

There is board complexity. Can you understand how the card on the battlefield interacts with other cards on the battlefield,

and there is strategic complexity.

Do you understand how best to optimize this card to win?

So what we find is that comprehension complexity is more important to the beginning player than board complexity,

which is more important than strategic complexity.

So the way I like to describe this is imagine a new player has a sphere of awareness, and that

when they first start playing, it's really, really focused. In fact, when a beginner plays,

most of their attention goes on their hand hand because the question they're asking is,
