Quotes (from this video)
- Ask a Board Gamer! My first question actually launches with a tragic story - i've got bad news for you Brent - i've got some bad news for you - i got bad news - Uh-oh - A fire has destroyed your entire board game collection - new stuff included - Oh no! - i know! - Oh sh*t - And you have to rebuild - i wanna know: what's the first thing you rebuild with?
- I would start with Splendor - Dragon Strike - Citadels - Hansa Teutonica - Mysterium - Boss Monster - Kingdom Death: Monster, hands down - 1313 Dead End Drive!
- I love it so much! I've never won a game - I have a massive amount of fun.
- It was the first real unique board game I owned.
- D6 is basically designed for individuals who don't know how to play Dungeons & Dragons, but it's a really simplified D&D board game version.
- It was like mousetrap almost. You build up this elaborate scene and you trigger traps and devices... Clue to the next level!
- I probably would start off with Scythe. I've spent so much money buying all the expansions. I've spent a ton of time going over strategy, playing with other people, teaching other people. It's a long game to get to learn if you've ever played it. I just have to get that one back.
- It is by far the best game that I have ever played. I absolutely love cooperative gameplay.
- I don't really like counter-operative gameplay, even though I know that nobody else ever calls it that.
- I tried Munchkin once, and I don't want to lose my friends over a game.
- Cosmic Encounter you want to avoid, and of course, uh, Monopoly, because everybody should avoid it at all costs.
- Kingdom Death: Monster is probably one of the most critically acclaimed and, like, artistically inspired.
- When you look at the miniatures and you look at the details, the time and the effort and the inspiration that goes into it is very very nice.
- Can you still get it? - Yes, you can! They do a lot of limited print collectors models of sorts. Those are irreplaceable.
- I don't know how I'm gonna put my kid through college since I have to buy it all again!
- There's been a fire, and it's destroyed your entire board game collection. What game do you buy first to replenish it? - Dinosaur World.
