    Episode 1 - How to Win Games and Influence your Enemies

    In this episode we discuss why you should play Guild Ball, cover a very brief history of the game and do a deep dive on all the various win conditions in the game and how each guild slots into each of those win conditions. We apologize in advance, this one is a bit long, in our defense, we're still trying to figure out what we're doing 😅 We also tried our best to place each of the guilds into one of the win conditions, generally speaking, we know that a lot depends on the match up, which captains you're playing etc. Here is want we got: 3-0: Lamplighters, Miners, Fishermen, Navigators, Order 2-2: Alchemist, Engineers, Shepherds, Masons 1-4: Blacksmiths, Brewers, Butchers, Cooks, Farmers Hunters, Falconers, Morticians, Ratcatchers, Union 0-6: Likely seen at lower tables or new player games, but not common among higher level play If you want to create your own, you can!
