Quotes (from this video)
- Hey everybody, I'm Tom Vassal. Welcome to a pile of mid games where I take a look at games that are ranked 3,000 or below on BoardGameGeek.
- Risk, this is just a the original trilogy Risk. I've not played this one but you look at it and you go, "Ah."
- Cuphead fast rolling dice game. Well, they ain't lying. This is a game you're rolling dice as fast as you can to beat the different enemies as Cuphead and you're just rolling dice and trying to get different matches and I don't particularly like it.
- Sabotage, this is a game from Tim Fowers Fowers Games and two teams are competing. This one, oh I remember this was a very big game. See how big this box is and there's back and forth going between the players. There's a lot of really cool things about this game. The size is not the best in the world but the back and forth, but it just missed the mark for me.
- The Settlers of Nürnberg, this is a a stand-alone game, one of the first ones they did, I think, that was not just Catan.
- And then finally, Urbion. I've not played this one. I know that this is one of the Philosophia edition games, uh the the Onirim series, and I know that many of the guys in the Dice Tower love this series. I can't speak to this one either way cuz I have not played it.
- So, I think I'm going to have to give it to Mhm, 10 Days in Asia. That's my favorite of this bunch.
- Hey, thanks for watching another video here on the Dice Tower. Uh we really appreciate you stopping by and checking our things out. Thanks so much for joining us today.
