A Game of Ice and Fire

  In this episode I sit and talk with Rebecca Banky about the concept of intentional or mindful play and can help out those who are hungry for success but starved for time.  This is a way of looking at A Song of Ice and Fire that will make your loses more informative to you as well as set you up for success when trying to get better at playing the game.  A lot of us might already engage in this behavior but there's a few nuances that I'm sure will do nothing but help you in your journey to become a better player.
