This episode Doug gets to sit in the guest chair instead of the host chair for once to talk about a game in his journey to finally winning the Tyrant Tourney at Gen Con 2024 and bringing home the belt! We discuss his approach to fielding Marcus and how he approaches large tournaments in general. We also talk about the Lonestar Fauxdown as the time for the event is fast approaching!
