I'm very sad to hear that one of the first woman designers in collectible games unexpectedly pass away last week.
I never had the chance to interview @Teeuwynn or know her personally but I greatly appreciate the work she did & the footprint she made in the tabletop gaming space!

This breaks down the core gameplay of the allegedly "stolen IP" that UDE claims was their unannounced "Rush of Ikorr" TCG.
From what we know about Lorcana's game system, it seems the similarities are pretty notable

OK, so next up, UD provides "An Overview of Rush of Ikorr."
Ummm...this could be pretty boring...so I'll just paste those sections in here.

Doing research & want to know what is your favorite "Alt Win" card in any TCG?
Specifically Im looking for cards that have an effect that say something like "If X, you win the game" or "...another player loses the game".
These effects are outside of a game's usual win/loss rules

G:BoC was a passion project by one of the best minds in the new TCG space.
This news breaks my heart but goes to be a lesson to those dreamers & KSer wannabes:
this is a challenging space. It’s so much more than a game, it’s devotion.
Congrats to G:BoC for 5 inspiring years

It has been quite the adventure, but it is time for the battle to end. We will have one more Exploring the Library tomorrow - a farewell to our Champions, both in game and out. For now though, thank you for all of your support. genesisbattleofchampions.com…
