Most AI content is either "magic tricks" or "doom scrolling." We need more engineering rigor.

Broke out the @gamegenic.com #TwinSuns playmat for a few rounds at my #LGS, always a blast! Won using my special Nightsisters deck 😎

Had another great night of trades and #SWU gameplay at my LGS last night.

I was able to test out my new Captain Phasma deck that dominated the premier play.

We even got in a few #TwinSuns games!

A high-angle, slightly distorted shot of a rectangular table from above, with five players playing the Twin Suns format of Star Wars Unlimited, a TCG game. The table is covered with five colorful playmats, each with a different design, and various cards are spread across them. Players' hands and forearms are visible around the edges of the table, suggesting they are in the midst of a game.

A top-down shot of a Star Wars Unlimited card game layout on a dark gray playmat. The playmat features a detailed illustration of a large, gray spaceship with various smaller ships around it, set against a backdrop of space.  Scattered across the playmat are numerous Star Wars Unlimited cards, arranged in distinct piles and rows.  On the left side, a vertical stack of cards is partially visible, with the "Star Wars Unlimited" logo at the bottom.  Moving right, a row of face-up cards is displayed, featuring various characters and vehicles from the Star Wars universe.  Below this row, another set of cards is spread out, with some overlapping.  On the right side of the playmat, two areas are labeled "UNITS" and "DECK," each with a stack of cards beside it.  The "GAMEGENIC" logo is visible in the bottom right corner of the playmat.

A top-down, slightly angled shot of a white table where three people are playing a card game. The table is covered with three playmats, each with different artwork. The playmat on the left has a dark background and features a Star Wars Unlimited logo, along with various cards laid out in rows. The center playmat has a light background with an anime-style female character, and also has Star Wars Unlimited cards arranged on it. The playmat on the right has a fiery design and more cards, including some dice and tokens.  Each player has a stack of cards, some face up and some face down, indicating an active game in progress.

Had a blast playing #swu last night at my LGS, there were so many trades and matches played! My favorite was getting to play #TwinSuns the new 80 card deck format.

We play Twin Suns quite often at my LGS... while I love the idea of a specialized playmat, we all already have our own and who in the heck would want to transport this monster? I'm not aware of a tube that'll even hold the 2-player playmat let alone this beast lol

Finally found time to put my #JTL pre-release into swudb.
