Quotes (from this video)
- As you can see, maybe at the beginning, the monthly menu thumbnail has changed. And I'm going to talk a little bit about why that had to happen at the end of this video. So, stay tuned.
- This is a programming game. A little bit of a deck build. It's not really accurate because there's only a few cards you have, but a little bit of a deck builder, a little bit of area control, and asymmetric factions. Very, very unique game. Very clever, clever game that I'm very happy that I've been getting a chance to play.
- Really, really had a good time. Next was Vantage, which was one from Stonemire Games. It was a little bit of an advanced copy. And yes, I did get it. Yes, I got to play it. Yes, I put out a review on it. Really liked it. Really, really, really enjoyed Vantage. Just really a lot of fun. Especially for me. Might not be for everybody, but it is for me.
- So, it just missed out on making my top five games of the month. So, just a really cool game. Really enjoy it and I really want to get it back to the table soon.
- This is a game that is at the edge of weight for games that I like, and I really enjoyed it.
- I've really had a good time with this game. I think it's just delightful. It's beautiful. It's got a lot of stuff going on.
- This is a wonderful, wonderful tile laying game with amazing art. It just looks pretty as you look at it, but if you dig in, there's all these Easter eggs hidden in there of Star Wars and 2001 and all kinds of stuff just kind of hidden in there. Stunningly beautiful, easy to play and just a lot of fun.
- After the first few plays, I still wasn't sure what I thought because the first couple of games that we played, a lot of it was kind of learning stuff and feeling things out and trying to understand how things worked. And I just wasn't sure if it was clicking with me. Well, having come back to it a lot, it did click with me and I'm really, really enjoying it.
- It has a very cool combat system that when it is combined with the way the app works, well, it's a website cuz it's not an app. It's really good.
- It has a really cool magic system that's so simple, but it just makes so much sense. The way you can level up your characters and kind of do anything you want with them is really really satisfying.
- This is a cyberpunk adventure game that is a lot of dice placement and some very cool kind of story elements that you're dealing with.
- It all fits in the box, which makes me very happy.
- This is a fantasy cartoonish, which I'm all about. Boss battler with epic character creation. Another game you can just do whatever you want with your characters. Very, very clever the way that works.
- It's a Euro game. It's decently reviewed and so we decided we're gonna do it that weekend.
- My laptop is no more. It is gone. And with that, I lost not a ton of stuff I can't get back, but some of the thumbnails I can't get back.
- It made it far less painful and it would have been far harder for me to absorb that hit without the channel members and the subscribers and the YouTube ads.

Pros
- Fun look and style
- Good quality components in the retail edition (though can vary by printing)
- Overarching story with quick story beats
- Deck building and dice rolling core gameplay is fun and fast
- Intensely fun character leveling and customization
- Bosses are easy to manage with good explanations
- Campaign can be replayed for a different experience
- Includes one-off scenarios that work well
- Light and accessible gameplay
- High replayability due to character and class combinations
Cons
- Component quality can vary wildly between printings (warped boards/cards)
- Lack of meaningful terrain on the boards
- High desire to restart and try new builds makes finishing the campaign difficult
Thematic elements
- Boss battler
- Overarching story with choices
Comparison games
- Battle for Greyport
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Boss Battler — This is a boss battler game, and you go through your little adventure book, and as you go through, you're going to be making choices, and pretty much you're going to make a choice. Do I want to go this way and fight this guy or this way and fight this guy?
- Character progression — After every game, you're going to level up and it means you get a new class. You can get up to five levels of each of these classes. Each different class that you get is going to give you different cards that are going to go into your deck. You get some new passive abilities, some new abilities that'll mess with the dice, and you'll get more hit points and new cards that go into your deck and make you more powerful.
- Deck Building — And the core gameplay itself is you set up your board and then each time the hero acts, they're going to get to basically play two of their cards from their hand. And their deck's going to be made up of cards that they get from the different classes.
- Dice Rolling — The core of the game is rolling dice. You're going to be playing cards and building your deck, but those cards are going to let you roll dice as you're doing your damage to the bad guys.
- Loot System — When you defeat them, then you will get some of their loot, which then you can give to different characters and so on as you keep buffing yourself up.
- Scenario/Quest Based — It came with several little side quests. I think each of the core packs kind of came with a little book that just has one-off scenarios that you get to do.

Quotes (from this video)
- It is intensely intensely fun to level up your characters.
- The experience of making these characters and playing them is arguably as fun as the game itself.
- Depending on the printing that you're able to get a hold of, [...] you will have wildly different quality of stuff.
- There is definitely a very good chance that it is still going to be in my top 10 adventure dungeon crawl games list when I re-release that in about a week or two.
