Packing and Mapping Synergies in Cubes

Описание: View all cards mentioned in this episode (http://luckypaper.co/podcast/292-pack...)


Andy and Anthony discuss how they think about themes within cubes. As always, our hosts beginning with a thorough defining of terms. They talk about how they think about thematically related sets of cards and how many they think can fit, or would want to, in a Cube. Andy has been exploring fitting a tight network of synergistic cards in his cube Take Five (https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/t...) .


They also talk about a new app Anthony built (https://luckypaper.co/resources/card-...)  specifically for mapping synergies between cards within a cube. It lets you create a force directed diagram of every card in a cube and draw connections between individual or sets of cards. Give it a try with your own cube!
