Quotes (from this video)
  • Atlantis Rising is a really fun cooperative game where you're trying to get as many people off of or rather away from the island of Atlantis as it's sinking into the ocean as you possibly can through these really neat kind of Stargate-esque wormholes.
  • Architects of the West Kingdom is such a cool worker placement game.
  • It's one of the one of the better ways that I've seen alpha players be handled in the in the in a cooperative game because it does restrict some information from the alpha player so that they cannot just tell everybody what to do.
  • The ART Project also has a really neat theme.
  • This is a fantastic implementation of trick-taking, cooperative trick-taking.
  • The One Ring is the Trump in this game. But when you play out the One Ring, you can play it as a losing card or you can play it as a Trump card as the Trump card. So you get to pick.
  • And the artwork is really what kind of brought it to the forefront for me.
  • Aeon's End is a fantastic game where you are mages. You're however many people you are, you're cooperatively trying to fight whatever big bad creature is coming through the breach to a distract to attack and destroy Gravehold.
  • This is basically that game that it replaced a little bit more growed up.
  • Lord of the Rings
  • Jamaica is a really neat game where you have your own pirate ship and uh, the other players have theirs and you're racing around the island of Jamaica.
  • it's like this resource management game that's that's kind of enveloped into a racing game, and I really enjoy that that dichotomy that the game represents.
  • if you put all of the cards back-to-back, it creates a a diorama.
  • It's really light, but it's very fun.
  • Burncycle is a fantastic game where you take on a little robot. Um and everybody else takes on a little robot. This is a cooperative game where you are robot espionage.
  • It is completely and totally espionage at its greatest or or or that spy type of game is as it's greatest.
  • you are running your actions based on the burn cycle, which is where your actions come from.
  • So, Burn Cycle is just a fantastic game. It's chip theory games. All of your information is on the chips. Um and they're poker chips, but it's it's a beautiful game. Love it to death.

Quotes (from this video)
  • it's just there's so many options for ways to play the game so many nameless that depending on the cards that you get put into the into the supply and you're gonna come up with a bunch of different combinations with your particular breech major yeah
  • And here's my favorite thing about this expansion they have a lot more cards in this one that that deal with doing something with other players like but attach this to any players breech or cast any other player spell or if if a person does this then they can discard cards from their hand just a little bit more interaction between the players I thought that was nice
  • The expedition mode I mean other than that like no I mean there's really not
  • I thought the treasures were really neat and it doesn't like bog the game down at all it just gives you a little bit more to consider make yourself feel a little bit unique
  • it was unique and challenging and fun throughout the entire simpler way so a really good one
  • eight point five in yeah yeah
