120: SolForge Fusion, digital to tabletop to digital (guests: Richard Garfield/Justin Gary)

Ten years ago, your Going Analog hosts Christina and Shoe were obsessed with the digital collectible card game SolForge. Sadly, the daily (and nightly) sessions of lane-based combat mixed with a revolutionary upgradable-card system went away when the game eventually sunsetted (solsetted?). But, Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering, Android Netrunner) and Justin Gary (Ascension, Shards of Infinity) knew their co-design still had some...ahem, magic to it, so they revived it via Kickstarter as a tabletop experience, SolForge Fusion. Now SolForge is full-circling its career by returning to its original format. This time, however, the new digital game will work with its physical counterpart on a truly ambitious new platform. We chat with Richard and Justin about SolForge and SolForge Fusion's interesting journey, with its ups and downs and ups again -- and what fans can expect from the franchise moving forward. Timeline: 3:32 - Going Analog's game pick: Critter Kitchen. 6:36 - Richard & Justin's pick: Dominion. 13:01 - Richard & Justin & Going Analog's combo topic: SolForge's journey from digital to physical and back to digital.
