Deckbuilding 301: How Slay the Spire Expands Tabletop Design

Episode 277- Deckbuilding 301 and Slay the Spire

Trick-taking wiz Taylor Reiner joins Pete, Jake, and Brendan to take the next step on our deckbuilding exploration. This time we're going digital! How do games like Balatro and Slay the Spire build on physical games and where do they diverge? Also how are we seeing the reverse influence on tabletop games?
