Summary

Space Kitty Mantis joins us this week to explain the WILD variant known as Frankendraft. It’s like taking Twilight Imperium, throwing it in a blender, and seeing what kind of smoothie you end up with. We played a game of it with Mantis and others, and it was an absolutely hilarious experience. This episode covers the basics of Frankendraft, and details how OUR draft went and what kind of “factions” are possible. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

0:56.5	It's really funny having a guess because I feel like it calls attention to the awkwardness of it
1:00.4	because it's like we're all kind of getting warmed up talking to each other.
1:03.6	And it's like, okay, let's kill all that energy right now and reset from zero.
