I'm pulling over the parking lot.

We all know what that means.

It's time for the drive to work.

I meant I to drop something off from my daughter's school.

Okay.

So today, we're going to talk all about reprints.

Why do we print cards we've already printed before?

So I'm going to talk about the philosophy behind it, like why we do it, and then talk

a little bit about when we're designing just how it affects your design, how knowing you

of reprints, how it affects the design. Okay, so let's start from the basics, which is why do we

even reprint cards? And I think there's three major reasons. So let's walk through those first.

Okay.

Number one is just a game design, elegant slash resource issue, which is there is not an infinite amount of designs.

I mean, there's a large number.

It's a large finite number.

But nice, clean, clear, elegant designs are not something that are easy to come by.

And so one of the major reasons you'll do reprints is just you've made the right card.

You know, I need a card.

Instead of reinventing the card or making a new card, I just use the one I have.

So, one of the things I talk about this all the time is a lot of our role in doing design is

the basic game is the basic game, but each year we're just trying to do different things with it.

And so often what will happen is we will take basic effects and we'll tweak them.
