Jess takes time away from EDH (Commander, what-have-you) to talk about Cards Against Humanity. It’s an amazing party game, available for free online or for a reasonable price in many stores, and she’s a huge fan. You should try it!

Jess finally finishes up her overview of the Commander 2013 products, in part ten of her ten article cycle. The EDH player in her heart was a fan, although she knocked off half a grade for the weird economics of the set. A-, would buy again!
