Ned and Parker talk Trilogy Format, our second episode on the topic!
This episode is long and bad, but Parker's earned it!
Ned and Parker welcome Ben from Unlimited Limited to talk about card evaluation in a limited context and the unexpected richness of the Minneapolis Top 8.Unlimited Limited: https://www.youtube.com/@UnlimitedLimitedSWU
How many episodes do we have to record before Ned wanders into an iconic Star Wars phrase by accident? Ned Math says one of the sets is worse than the others! How wordy is JTL? Is The Force #StarWarsUnlimited's first novel mechanic?
What is the deal with keywords? What is the deal with rogue decks? Ned and Parker blather on and on and on.
Ned wants to talk about Nash Equilibria and Metagames, and Parker struggles to count down from 10. I think this is the core of our show.
What do these two things have in common? Absolutely nothing! It's segment after segment after segment, dear listener! We've got math, we've got TCG theory, we've got practical jokes. This episode has it all!
What does Ned think about Tyler's article on Year 2 balance? What does Parker think about four more months of podcasting with Ned? FIND OUT.
We're a bit late to the party, but we're here to talk about Jump to Lightspeed base math. And then, there's only one person who can talk about Ned Math.
And it's Parker
Ned was on KBOO Community Radio talking about board games! Also, we talk about other stuff.

What better way to celebrate SWU Year's Eve than listening to Ned and Parker talk about lesser known Star City Games articles from the past?
Ned talks about PAX Unplugged and then we talk about the tiny things we hope to see in 2025 for SWU.
What were the most unloved cards in Shadows? What are the most popular leaders so far in Twilight? What does a bad math segment look like?
STICK AROUND AND FIND OUT.
(Our audio quality is better than ever, but Parker finally sat down and learned Squadcast/Descript, which left no time for charts or visual lists. The graphs - as always - are over on Ned's github, found at our website. There's no handy image grab of the Top 10 to post on Discord.)
