Welcome to Ludology, an analytical discussion of the hows and whys of the world of board games. Rather than news and reviews, Ludology explores a variety of topics about games from a wider lens, as well as discuss game history, game design and game players.
We post a new Ludology episode every other week. In these episodes, hosts Erica Bouyouris and Sen-Foong Lim deep-dive into a single topic within game design, often with a well-regarded guest from the game industry. We generally focus on tabletop game design (mainly board games and RPGs), but we often pull in experts from all forms of games, from video games to escape rooms to slot machines.
On weeks where there is no flagship Ludology episode, we will alternate between two smaller mini-sodes. Erica and Sen are happy to announce that Sarah Shipp of Shippboard Games and Stephanie Campbell of TTRPGKids will be joining us for the next year, providing additional content between our longer episodes.
Sarah’s segment, Thinking Beyond Mechanisms, is a monthly feature that dives deeper into the other aspects of games beyond the dice and cards we’re all familiar with.
Stephanie’s segment, TTRPGKids, explores how parents and teachers can use role playing games with children in the home and in the classroom.
We hope you enjoy the additional content!
Our History
We aim for most Ludology episodes to be timeless, so you are welcome to explore our entire catalog. Most of it should age quite well. The podcast was started in 2011 by Geoff Engelstein and Ryan Sturm, with Mike Fitzgerald taking over for Ryan in 2015. Gil and Scott joined the show in 2017 when Mike stepped aside, and Emma joined in 2019 when Geoff ended his tenure as host. Emma left in 2021, and Erica and Sen joined us. Since then, Scott stepped down in 2022 and Gil will be hanging up his mic in 2023, leaving Erica and Sen to carry on this amazing legacy.
Erica and Sen are working to bring new voices to Ludology and have some great things to announce as gaming expands to include even more people!

Practically a modern classic, Vampire Survivors has inspired countless imitators. But the upcoming Skull Horde actually looks like a novel take on its roguelike inspiration. While in Vampire Survivors you gain new abilities to upgrade your avatar, in Skull Horde you’ll build a massive army of fellow skeletons and lead them to victory through a dank dungeon. The game has an earnest and goofy tone, like a Tales from the Crypt episode that hits just right. You can give the game a try right now.
As for how Skull Horde plays, each run will start in a new procedurally generated dungeon and you’ll control your army’s route through that dungeon. However, much like Vampire Survivors, you won’t control how your army acts and moves. Instead, you’ll select upgrades, purchase units, and pick up loot to improve your forces. You can also unlock perks that you’ll select at the beginning of the run, giving you powerful abilities and shaping your strategy for that run. But Skull Horde has some subtleties too. Staying longer on any floor of a dungeon can help you find more loot and money, but your enemies also grow more powerful.
However, what makes Skull Horde really sing is its aesthetics. Its pixel sprites are detailed, but also readable at a glance. Watching armies of bone battle armies of flesh has the same aesthetic appeal as any of the best RTS games. A crunchy, guitar-heavy soundtrack completes the vibe.
You can download and play the Skull Horde demo directly from the game’s Steam page.
You can follow us on Google News for daily PC games news, reviews, and guides. We’ve also got a vibrant community Discord server, where you can chat about this story with members of the team and fellow readers.
Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond offers a wide range of deck types that cater to different playstyles, from fast-paced combos to powerful late-game finishers. Whether you enjoy overwhelming opponents with Fairies, clearing the board with amulet synergies, or stacking Spellboosts for massive payoff turns, there’s something here for everyone. Each deck brings its own unique strategy and key cards that define how matches unfold. In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at the best decks and what makes them so effective.
Shadowverse: World Beyond Deck Tier List
Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond Decks, ranked from best to worst – Image bia TierMaker.
In the Shadowverse: Worlds Beyondtier list above, we can see that not all decks are made equal. Sure, you can adjust them to make them a bit stronger or weaker, but the general synopsis is the same. The Runecraft Spellboost Deck is dominating the Ranked Ladder right now, along with the Forestcraft Fairy Deck and the Havencraft Amulet Deck. If you want to climb, that is what you will need to use.
Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond Best Decks List
Here we will take a look at the top 3 Decks in the current Shadowverse: Worlds BeyondMeta, how they operate, which cards are the most important, and what the playstyle is from start to finish of the game.
Runecraft Spellboost Deck
This deck focuses on building up Spellboosts while keeping the opponent in check. Once your cards are powered up, things really start to flow. Blaze Destroyer becomes a serious threat at a lower cost, and Dimension Climb lets you refill your hand and regain all your play points, making it easier to keep up pressure. If you make it to 10 play points, Kuon, Fivefold Master can close things out with a strong Super-Evolve that targets the opponent’s leader directly.
Forestcraft Fairy Deck
This combo-focused Zoo deck centers around multiplying Fairies in your hand to unlock powerful effects. It takes advantage of cards like Bayle, Luxglaive Warrior, whose cost can drop to zero, and Killer Rhinoceroach, which builds up attack to strike directly at the opponent. Amataz, Origin Blader, also plays a key role by growing stronger while clearing enemy followers. To finish things off, legendary cards like Aria, Lady of the Woods, and Opulent Rose Queen shift the deck into a burn strategy, either by giving your pixies Storm or turning them into damage-dealing spells.
Havencraft Amulet Deck
This deck might seem like it’s built to stall while waiting for amulet countdowns to finish, but there’s a more exciting route. With Skullfane of Demise, you can destroy all your amulets at once, clearing the board and hitting the opponent’s leader in one move. If needed, Unholy Vessel helps ensure a clean sweep. After that, the deck shifts into offense, relying on Rodeo, Anathema of Judgment, and Jeanne, Saintly Knight to take control and limit the opponent’s options. And eventually, Lapis, Shining Seraph keeps coming back, making it increasingly difficult for them to stay in the game.
Those are 3 of the best Decks in Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond. The other decks come off short compared to these, so if you are planning to climb the Ranked Ladder, there is no point crafting them.
That is all for my Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond Deck tier list and guide. Let me know what your favorite Deck is in the comments below. Check out our Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond Codes to get Free Packs and Loot that can help you assemble your favorite deck.

As long as it’s your turn and you control an Army, Grond is an
artifact creature.
We were faced with two different scenarios last night, both I think are related. In both scenarios I have Grond, and control a 2/2 Orc Army and no other creatures. Attackers have been declared, and Grond is attacking.
Scenario 1: Opponent destroys the Orc Army with an instant before blockers are declared. As Grond is now no longer a vehicle, is he still attacking as a 5/5? Or is he removed from combat?
Scenario 2: Opponent blocks Grond with a grizzly bears equiped with Barrow-Blade. Grond loses all abilities. Presumably, Grond is now "just" an uncrewed vehicle and is removed from combat?
My guess is both scenarios are essentially the same and Grond is removed from combat. But, wanting confirmation. No rulings on Grond around this issue.
In Absolvement, mastering powerful skills is key to surviving and thriving in its ever-shifting world. Each skill element brings its own unique identity to combat, offering distinct playstyles and tactical depth. From the raw force of Arcane to the creeping decay of Disease and the elusive power of Shadow, every element has its strengths and specialties. Understanding how these forces work is the first step toward becoming a true force on the battlefield, so follow along with my Absolvement Skills tier list and guide and start… Absolving.
Across all skill types, the strongest abilities often combine high base damage with powerful crowd control or utility. Shadowstep, Pestilence with Black Death, and Judgement with Execution Sentence stand out for their versatility and scaling in high-level play. Beginners will find value in skills like War Banner for team support, Ice Clone with Polar Caps for safety, and Chain Lightning for simple but impactful damage. Experienced players can take full advantage of complex synergies, such as Blood Plague with Epidemic or Soul Burst with DoT builds. Overall, most elements offer viable builds, but Shadow, Disease, and Frost currently offer the most flexible and punishing options when mastered.

It’s been nearly a decade since Ubisoft first launched Rainbow Six Siege. In the time since, the multiplayer FPS has improved enormously, attracting a devoted audience and cementing itself as one of the best options in a genre that also includes PUBG, Valorant, and Marvel Rivals. To keep that momentum going into its tenth year and beyond, Ubisoft has put out a sweeping overhaul of Siege with today’s launch of Rainbow Six Siege X. Even though it’s only been out for a few hours, this decision seems to have been a good one, as the game’s already attracted a massive player base and strong reviews on Steam.
Rainbow Six Siege X takes the long-running FPS game‘s foundation and revitalizes it with a number of changes. Most immediately noticeable is a rework of its visuals, applied to five maps at the time of launch, and tweaks to the core design of the game, including the ability to shoot and destroy objects like pipes and fire extinguishers. The relaunch also offers a new 6v6 mode called Dual Front and allows previous Siege players to carry over their progress, receive rewards based on how long they’ve been playing, and keep their ability to get into modes from before X launched.
So far, Siege X is going over well with players. Not only have its user reviews shot upward in the hours since launch, but it’s also hit its highest player count in more than a year. At the time of writing, the game has 134,366 active players, down from a 24-hour peak of 142,025 earlier today. That 24-hour peak represents the most active players since April, 2024, which reached 156,080.
Rainbow Six Siege X is out now. You can download it for free on Steam right here.

Since it launched in 2021, Vampire Survivors cannot be stopped. Poncle’s phenomenal bullet hell roguelike is one of the most successful indies on Steam, amassing a 98% positive user rating from nearly 240,000 reviews across its lifetime. That’s for good reason, too, as not only is the core experience infinitely replayable, but a collection of updates and DLC have vastly expanded what’s on offer. Vampire Survivors is easily one of the best value propositions available on PC today, and now Poncle has another one for you. The studio is publishing the incredibly vibrant and kinetic Berserk or Die, which has a truly bizarre control scheme, and it’s available right now.
You’re the last soldier left on the battlefield, and with enemies approaching from all sides, you’ve got one job: survive. Set on a gorgeous 2D plane, that’s the core premise of Berserk or Die from Nao Games, a new action indie game all about chaining together flashy moves.
This isn’t like Castlevania, Contra, Ninja Gaiden, or any manner of classic platformer, though, because in Berserk or Die, you can only move by attacking. Hitting the left or right side of your keyboard attacks in that direction, and the more keys you press at once, the wilder and more powerful your moves. That’s right, you’re encouraged to smash your keyboard to bits with as big a strike as possible. Once you’ve obliterated enough enemies your special gauge will fill up, and you can then shake your mouse and unleash a move that’ll wipe through all the enemies on the screen.
With multiple characters to choose from, and an array of weapons to equip them with, you’ll have more than enough ways to keep gameplay feeling fresh. If you manage to survive until nightfall, you can then visit a lone peddler to sell your wares, heal your wounds, and buy upgrades. You’ll do all this to a soundtrack from Vampire Survivors composer Filippo Vicarelli, too, so you just know it’s going to get your blood pumping.
“Nao Games shares the Poncle spirit of making games that are immediately accessible, affordable, and a bit out of the ordinary; for fun.” Poncle’s Luca Galante says. “When I first met Shibata-san and played Berserk or Die, I knew this was a game that deserved to be seen and played by more people. I’m really happy we got to support Shibata-san and hopefully make that happen.”
Berserk or Die is available on Steam right now, for $3.99 / £2.99. Just head here.
