Cube Engineers Episode 41: The Potential Pitfalls of Custom Cards

We are back on the rails again with Season 2 of Cube Engineers!Most conversations around custom cards tout the benefits of the medium, but fail to adequately address the drawbacks of their implementation. In this episode, TrainmasterGT invites Chris Taylor back again to examine the potential pitfalls of utilizing custom cards in a Cube, and whether or not these issues can be minimized. Along the way, the two explore some of their own custom designs which have proven problematic in the past, and what lessons they learned as a result. Should custom cards be a tool in every Cuber’s arsenal, or should card design be left to the professionals? Cube Engineers is now on Patreon! Follow this link to find out how to support the show!
