    Conceding is Salty! | Fact or Fiction? | 660
    Mar 4 2025
    A player may concede at any time, but that doesn’t mean they should. OR SHOULD THEY?! This great debate has been held around many a game table, so this episode we’re bringing you our unfettered opinions on the intricacies of the scoop. Is conceding poor sportsmanship or just a way to get the most out of your time? Should concessions be used aggressively? Should we never concede? It’s a surprisingly complicated topic so come join us for the whole journey! -------- Support the show and become a Patron!

Thank you for existing

Such a great show, and being relatively new
to commander, I learned a lot. This is also my only car podcast, during a long drive, it always entertains me to hear about commander strategy.
