Quotes (from this video)
- I am the one on the far right. Hey Dream Theater, A Rite of Passage. I'm the guy in the red robe on the far right.
- When it boiled down to me was a very rinse and repeat: get resources, build something, advance victory points. That's where I am with this game.
- The whole thing that you're doing the entire time is so story driven that the decisions and stuff you make within the context of story you just stay immersed the entire time.
- I love games where I get to do stuff on other people's turns.
