Episode 8 - Economize, He Said Maul-iciously

Zions Finest - A Star Wars: Shatterpoint Podcast

Why is Maul an incredible primary unit despite being the only figure I have really seen get removed in a game? Because he does what he does for free! (Kind of, not really, but kind of.)

In this episode, Sam leads a discussion as to the strategy of economy, and we all discuss how to leverage the resources you have in the game (force points, health and durability, actions, etc.) to gain the kind of incremental advantages that will help you to win games.

Economy in Shatterpoint, really, asks the players similar questions to those posed in other competitive games. Namely, how do you leverage the resources you are given to gain advantages over your opponent to preserve your opportunity to win assuming the variance does not break against you. We have a ton of fun discussing this (despite my saltiness) and it is an area that I am really working to improve as a player.

Please join the Slack! We are designing a promo card that will be sent out to everyone on the Slack for Shatterpoint, and would love to have you join our conversations and help me figure out what list is best to beat Magnaguards!
