Draft Mechanic Episode #123: Bargain Quest
I sure hope you like value! In this episode of Draft Mechanic, you get not just ONE game in the feature segment, but ONE and a half! An expansion too! Thatâs such a steal! But donât steal Bargain Quest. But if you want to steal, your dexterity is probably high? Right? Is that a good segue to three games that have dexterity or physical mechanics? I donât know. But we talk about CTRL, Megacity Oceania, and Flash 8. And, as an added value, Danielleâs going to tell you about Sorachi Ace hops! WHAT A DEAL.

Hope youâre thirsty, because itâs tea time! Weâre maneuvering hat cards in teams or individually in Hats, weâre opening our own tea shops in Chai, and⊠ok, thatâs where the tea metaphors run dry.

Ok, so thereâs not really an overarching theme for this episode. Let that one simmer for a bit.
