Quotes (from this video)
- Metal Gear Solid, without getting into spoilers, those who have played the original Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation 1 back in the '9s may be asking, how did they adapt that particular boss encounter from the video game to a tabletop experience? Isn't that impossible?
- I wear a huge grin on my face every time I think of that encounter.
- Meadow is a sweet game of set collection with a really interesting action selection system. The thing that really surprised me about it is the extra envelopes with additional cards to open at specific moments.
- There are lots of hidden clues on unexpected components in Unlock. I think escape room games in general do surprises really, really well in a non-campaign format.
- Jar says, 'When you purchase or play Jar Binks, you may spend two resources to gain one force and place him in your opponent's discard pile.'
