Rotation Speculation

November 7, 2024

FFG just announced that the leader Boba Fett: Collecting the Bounty would be suspended from Premiere play. Admitting the early game development mistake and taking corrective action makes a ton of sense when the single leader accounted for 55% of the winner from the initial Planetary Qualifier season. Many people are making videos and chatting…

Time Walkin’

June 13, 2024

Extra of something is generally good. Extra money. Extra ice-cream. Extra credit. Extra days off. Extra lives (Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A). Extra turns are good too. Collectible card games have always seemed to have this idea of an extra turn as a card. Those cards have tended to be…

Tournaments

June 4, 2024

The first really large tournament that I went to was roughly 1995 — before the Magic Pro Tour was even a thing.  I don’t quite remember what I was playing in terms of a deck.  I do remember that there were over two hundred players, and that the event was single elimination.  The other major…

Rarities

May 28, 2024

Jumping back into collectible card games after nearly twenty years has been a blast. One big change, however, has been the increase in card rarities and variants. The first collectible card games had a relatively simple rarity system of Common, Uncommon, and Rare. Fifteen cards in a pack; One Rare, three Uncommon, and then Common…

Playing It Out

November 17, 2024

The idea of prize splitting is that the players who get to the top eight or top four of an event take the prize pool and equally split it between them. This means there is basically a tie between those four or eight players. Ties are no fun. Who wins when it’s a tie? Where…

Jump to Lightspeed Speculation

November 15, 2024

FFG basically just released the third set for Star Wars Unlimited. Of course that means it’s time to start speculating on the fourth one. ** Small disclaimer up front. This is all entirely speculation. Porg Depot has no insider knowledge of things contained or not in the upcoming set nor anything happening internally at FFG…

Product Review: Gamegenic Bastion 50+

November 13, 2024

The Gamegenic Bastion 50+ is a tremendous deck box, perfectly suited for limited events of SWU. The box itself is made out of acrylic that comes in a pretty wide variety of colors for $7.99 on Amazon at the time of this post. The Bastion 50+ feels very solid. The box says that it is…

TWI Draft… in a brewery!

November 12, 2024

Attended my first ever draft. Well to be more specific, it was the first ever Star Wars Unlimited draft as I’ve been involved in more limited events for other games and cube drafts than I can recall. The event was hosted in New Jersey by The Golden Dice crew. Tremendous event. Three full eight person…

What Power Creep?

September 11, 2024

Power Creep has occurred in card games pretty much since their inception.  From a sales standpoint it makes sense as each additional set needs to sell packs and if the newest set only has cards that are the same or worse than the prior sets people just are not going to want to buy them.…

R2-Take 2: A Look at the Droid’s New Card

September 4, 2024

A new R2-D2 card has been dropped as a spoiler. The little droid is one of my favorite Star Wars characters and very likely the absolute top of my personal list. Certainly happy to see another snapshot in time of the little droid. The card design here is really interesting, especially when comparing it to…
