Quotes (from this video)
  • the best thing I can say about the game is it's trying to do something different and I love that about it
  • the tricky thing is you can't communicate with your teammate unless you're in the same space as them and that is a really bizarre dynamic to explore it a game
  • while I think the ideas and far away are really cool added something a little different I think it might have been too complex again to try that isolation mechanic out on thirst
  • Flipology is a very clever little game and it works by you dealt out a hand of cards and you arrange them facedown and then you flip one over each turn and then it will have an effect that will take place
  • that simplicity works so well for a friendly lunchtime or family game
  • amazingly they made a damn good game
  • this is better than half the games on the market it's actually pretty good
  • my inspirations were Lords of Waterdeep and viticulture so I took concepts from those games and blended them together
  • it turned out to be one of my favorite games I played last year
  • if you do or if you don't let me know in the comments
  • these videos are only made possible with the support of my patreon
