Episode notes
Playing 40K With His Son
- Peter played Warhammer 40K with his son and enjoyed the dice-heavy combat and painting hobby.
- He found turns shorten as models get removed and encouraged patience for learning the rules.
Deckers Is A Layered Tactical Deckbuilder
- Deckers blends tight deckbuilding with tactical grid-based play to create layered puzzles each turn.
- The game forces you to manage sparks while pursuing shifting objectives across short, intense rounds.
Check Objectives Before Map Setup
- Read the visible objectives (bronze/silver/gold) before setup so you can shape the map and strategy.
- Treat gold objectives as win/lose targets while bronze/silver alter difficulty when failed.
