Teach-sized prep
Goal → turn structure → exceptions last. Plus one mulligan policy written down.
Card / CCG night desk
Teach order, mulligan culture, and collection hygiene—without sealed-product theater
Cardgame Crate is for hosts and players of living card games, collectible formats, and deck builders: how to teach without chaos, agree mulligans, and keep boards readable. Guidance only—we do not invent sealed drops, prices, or inventory.
Start with Getting Started, skim the Guides hub, or browse Resources when you need outbound references like Card game Wikipedia.
What this desk is for
Card nights stall on teach order that starts with exceptions, fuzzy mulligan rules, and boards nobody can parse across the table. We write host habits for those problems—not RPG campaign notes, not board-game weight essays.
Prefer encyclopedias and community hubs when you need lineage. Start with Card game Wikipedia, Collectible card games, and Living card games; news gloss via Dicebreaker.
If a sideboard argument eats the night, park it for constructed events and keep the casual table moving. Fairness beats sacred meta essays.
Guides, Glossary, and Resources go deeper. Board and wargame crates nearby when your event mixes formats.
How we write
Date your format notes and proxy policies. A guest host should inherit the house rules, not a vibe.
