🎙️ Welcome back to Cardboard Court — the podcast where we talk all things board games, tabletop gaming, and the experiences that keep us coming back to the table.

In Episode 004, we’re diving into one of the biggest modern trends in tabletop gaming: Campaign Games vs Legacy Games.

What’s the difference between the two? Why do some players absolutely LOVE permanent changes and evolving stories while others avoid them completely? And which style creates the better tabletop experience?

From branching narratives and character progression to ripped cards, stickers, and permanent consequences, we break down what makes each style unique—and discuss the things we personally love and dislike about both.

🎲 In This Episode:
