Quotes (from this video)
- I really like this game because you got the the the Germans are really strong and tough at the beginning and the allies are scattered and they're weaker.
- And again, this does an absolute great job with uh supply and managing supply because that was such an important part of the Battle of the Bulge.
- But I like too combat here's a little different. you have these combat strips you pull out and you roll the dieice and you you kind of put the um dice in the appropriate places on the combat strips.
- Axis and Allies Guad Canal. Guad Canal is a great primarily navalbased game, although you are taking the islands with with infantry, what have you.
- Artillery on the islands can fire in the naval battles. It's just a lot of fun.
- I love the naval focus. Some of my favorite battles are naval battles. I love it when you're bringing in the carriers and the battleships and the cruisers and the subs and the destroyers.
- But here in the Pacific, you feel like the whole board is being used and and and potentially threatened and an avenue to victory.
- Axis and Allies Anniversary Edition is awesome.
- It's got Italy as its own player. This is the first one that introduced uh Italy as its own player. So, it's a sixplayer game.
- To me, this is the best the definitive edition certainly of kind of a global game.
- I never go back to the paper money or the regular dice again. I love such a quality life of improvement.
- If you really enjoy access and allies, you should really look into acquiring uh the the poker chips and the hit dice because they're just fantastic for any game of access and allies.

Quotes (from this video)
- Storm Raiders takes this post-apocalyptic kind of MadMax theme that we know and throw in stormchasing as well.
- I love the stormchasing element of it and that's why Storm Raiders is my actual number ten.
- This game is going to focus on the reporting, the ethics, as well as just kind of the newsroom tension of that time.
- I love that it's focused on this unique little piece of culture and it brings it to life.
- The Voinich puzzle is one that I think has a really unique theme and I'm super excited to see it entering our board game hobby.
- I remember reading and learning about the Voyage manuscripts... that I now love.
