  • Gen Con is just a buying convention.

  • It's really good. It's really good.
  • The whole thing is seeing designers These designers are fantastic.
  • It's so great to see. And year after year you get to see different designers.
  • Cosplayers this year did not disappoint.
  • My watch would die because I had done so many steps each day.
  • It's fantastic. So anyway, exhibit hall was fantastic as usual.
  • The games kind of I'm like oh, like you know, whatever. But, I don't even mind what they play. But, I love to play together, something together.

Quotes (from this video)
  • This is a six small box game review roundup. Gen Con edition.
  • If a game is in a six small box game review, it usually means it's not likely to get above a 3.5 out of five.
  • I think for me, I don't like this at all. I thought it was terrible. But again, caveat, I'm not the intended audience.
  • The actual puzzle, both solo and cooperative, is pretty fun.
  • The rule book in my opinion is terrible.
  • I think this is a great icebreaker, a great gateway game, uh, good for kids and families as well.
  • It's the kind of game that was good for two or three plays. And by the time I was playing it the fourth time, I was already I I felt I had done everything I wanted to from the game.
  • The biggest critique I have is it does feel very luck dependent. It doesn't feel like there's a ton of strategy.
