We're back! Tee welcomes to the show a former lead game designer for Magic the Gathering, Zac Hill. 

 

Zac and Tee discuss how the dynamics, mechanics and modes of expression within the Magic the Gathering (MTG) card game can generate illuminating and robust insights for personal development in real life.

Specifically, the “color pie” (like a color wheel) of five colors represents five distinctive sensemaking, strategic, and power utilization styles within the gameplay that you might be able to spot within yourself and others. 

  • (10:42) What is the MTG color pie? 
  • (13:37) MTG colors vs. Myers–Briggs, the Big Five & other personality typing
  • (39:27) The downsides of doubling down on game and life strategies
  • (01:19:50) The importance of addressing emotional issues in pursuit of the good life
  • (01:36:40) Virtues and downsides of each color within the color pie
