S3E45 - Red Rising

Description provided by Current Plays Podcast on YouTube:

Hail, Society! The Golds may sit at the top of the hierarchy, but there’s room for everyone to scheme, manoeuvre, and climb the social ladder. This week on Current Plays, Jordan and Thomas enter the world of Red Rising, the fast-paced card game from Stonemaier Games inspired by Pierce Brown’s bestselling science-fiction series. A little lighter and quicker than our usual fare, Red Rising more than makes up for it with high player interaction, spectacular card combinations, and plenty of opportunities to turn the tables on your rivals. Every card played opens the door to new possibilities, and building the perfect combination is an immensely satisfying part of the experience. But what really makes this game shine is its theme. The world of Red Rising absolutely drips from the cards and gameplay, bringing the colours, characters, and ruthless social hierarchy of the Society to life. Never fear if you haven't read the books! There's plenty here to enjoy without knowing your Golds from your Reds. But if you're already a fan of Pierce Brown's universe, you'll find even more to love than a Rose Pink. So choose your colour, gather your allies, and remember: the Society rewards the ambitious. Hail Reaper!
