Episode 4 - How is Kicking and You Should, Too!

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, July 2, 2025 • Duration 01:24:59

In this episode the FCSN crew discuss the importance of kicking...it is a game about football (soccer) after all!

Important lessons are discussed about when and how to pass. When and why to kick instead of receive to start the game. And the benefits of passing.

We also dive in to some of our own personal strategies for the kick off and what we've learned over time about setting yourself up for success from the first activation.

We also take a moment to discuss some of the information in the phenomenal Inspiring Hat Blog Post. Lots of information about changes to GBCP committees as well as a little more detail on the upcoming Mason's minor Guild: The Lumberjacks.

Episode 1 - How to Win Games and Influence your Enemies

Season 1 · Episode 1

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 • Duration 01:59:38

In this episode we discuss why you should play Guild Ball, cover a very brief history of the game and do a deep dive on all the various win conditions in the game and how each guild slots into each of those win conditions. We apologize in advance, this one is a bit long, in our defense, we're still trying to figure out what we're doing 😅

We also tried our best to place each of the guilds into one of the win conditions, generally speaking, we know that a lot depends on the match up, which captains you're playing etc.

Here is want we got:
3-0: Lamplighters, Miners, Fishermen, Navigators, Order

2-2: Alchemist, Engineers, Shepherds, Masons

1-4: Blacksmiths, Brewers, Butchers, Cooks, Farmers Hunters, Falconers, Morticians, Ratcatchers, Union

0-6: Likely seen at lower tables or new player games, but not common among higher level play

If you want to create your own, you can! Follow this link and tell us why we are wrong: https://tiermaker.com/categories/random/guild-ball-win-conditions-18081393
