MetaZoo Hour Summary • Feb 9, 2022 • 104 Questions

On Wednesday, February 9, 2022 at 8:31am EST, MetaZoo Games founder Michael Waddell started up another MetaZoo Hour on the official MetaZoo Discord server.

There were a total of 95 MetaZoo related questions & 9 personal/unrelated questions that were asked by members of the MetaZoo Discord community, and the answers all came directly from Michael Waddell himself; unless otherwise stated.

As always, we’ll start off with the MetaZoo-related questions first, in the order that they were received, and then move onto the personal questions afterward. Try searching for things such as “Wilderness” or “Kickstarter” to narrow-down the results. It all works dynamically. 🙂

  • One point of constructive criticism i would like to state is about the Walmart boxes. I think putting chase pulls in them could deter the original use of them (get it in more hands/new hands). Because of the box toppers in them, they are being more sought after by scalpers and flippers than new players. I think that could hurt its intentions. Just my two cents on them that i am seeing.

    Had no idea they were putting boxtoppers in them
