You might have heard that there’s a new Star Wars movie out in theaters. Every new film has brought us new characters worthy of representation in Epic Duels, and this one is no exception. WARNING: Light spoilers ahead. I’m not giving too much away when I say that not all of the characters are who …
“We designed this for 8-to-10 year-olds to last 3 months,” — Rob Daviau. In case it didn’t come through the interview as I wrote it, Mr. Daviau was genuinely surprised to be talking about this game in 2018 with someone as old as myself. He’s made many games, why did this one stick? Instead of …
