Ep:10 Team AGE's Prodigal Son with Colin Eriksen | Cardboard and Beyond: A Flesh and Blood Podcast

Colin Eriksen has been the talk of the AGE Open Series since he began competing in 2024, and was swiftly scooped up by the AGE Pro Team shortly after their formation. He recently, however, has become the Flesh and Blood US National Champion which meant that it was about time for Bryce to get a teammate on the show. Colin tells all about his passion for the game, the difficult uncertainty of being a young person about to be on their own in the world, and the foundation of friends he's built to support him along the way. With the help of Colin, Bryce will also debut a new segment on the show, a C&B addendum in which Bryce and his guest will do battle in FAB while continuing the conversation right where it left off at the end of the episode. Go to www.age.events to check out the addendum as it will only be available to AGE Premium subscribers.

Bryce will talk with the people that make FAB the profound game and community that it is. From content creators, professional players, developers and beyond, he'll run the gamut.
