Quotes (from this video)
  • it's just too random too quick
  • the game played itself
  • I bought it because of the crazy art and you've got that crazy cover and it's just wonderful stuff and ideas in the box
  • it's so busy
  • the four player colors are gray black tan and brown they're the same colors so you're like is that a player color is that a resource
  • backstabby
  • incredibly abstract and really not engaging for me at all
  • the idea of this just totally blew my socks off
  • but ultimately it is a big old area majority game
  • I've actually just posted before this video a full run through of this game, including that run through I played it three times and I'm just really into it
