Jon Barron, designer of Tricky Time Crisis, Best Candy on the Block, and a few more extremely exciting games in an upcoming Kickstarter (let’s just pause to link the Kickstarter <<< it’s right there!), joins the show to discuss [redacted], injecting theme and flavor into card games, [redacted], [redacted], proxy decks, and a whole bunch of trick-taking and Halloween-ish topics. If you can’t tell already, Dr. Tricky Time has unfortunately messed with the show notes, so you’ll need to tune in for an extremely fun conversation here.
Intro (0:00)
Longest set of prefaces ever (from me) and an interesting explanation of the card distribution in Trick Time Crisis (from Jon).

Notes on Upcoming Kickstarter Project (12:45)
Jon recently talked on the “Dads on a Map” Podcast regarding the upcoming group of games coming to Kickstarter, so I asked him about something he didn’t discuss there. Speaking of there, check that episode out too!
“Halloween” #3 (19:16)
Tricky Time Crisis, Theme, and Daylight Savings Time (25:44)

A text on Jon’s mind, and things to look out for from him!
