Quotes (from this video)
  • It wasn't like I had to force myself to pick the six, but but there really wasn't a huge pool to take from.
  • None of these are really expansions. maybe one that I would turn around and be like, "This is a must-have expansion."
  • It's just lots a lot of them are just more stuff, you know.
  • This game sucks. I don't get it.
  • So, I mean, that's what you're looking at right there is all that's in that pack I gave you. It's just one one sheet of eight tokens. There's those cards and those sets of rules. That's it. But it adds another layer.
  • Again, it's got the Detroit art, which is outstanding.
  • This one was my favorite of the two.
  • Ultimately, it's still Lost Ruins of Arnak. So I guess if you don't like Lost Ruins, you're not going to these aren't going to do anything for you.
  • This is a very solid expansion. I think it's a great sendoff to Lost Ruins of Arnak because they're done.
  • This game set big time needs is more bosses which we both agree on that.
  • Unstoppable has three bosses, two of which are basically identical.
  • I don't imagine I would ever play this game without this expansion.
  • This honestly is an expansion that comes in and in my opinion fixes the game
  • I absolutely love Leviathan Wilds, I think when we reviewed Leviathan Wilds, like from the get-go, this is one of those games that I'll see on my shelf and I'll be like, I kind of want to play that, you know?
  • All extremely solid, all worth checking out. Um, almost none of them I think are musthaves, but I think they they're all expansions to great games.

Quotes (from this video)
  • I don't know that I'll ever play the game again without this expansion. It's essential.
  • I love Wingspan and Fins Span. I think they're both great games. But, to me, they don't hold a candle to Wormspan. I just love Wormspan so much.
  • This is a game that or an expansion, rather, to last time I checked, my second favorite game of all time.
  • I'm not necessarily rating it on how I like the base game overall. I'm rating these things on how much I like the expansions and how much they bring to the base game. That's my criteria.
  • It is so much fun and it is it's scary, too.
  • This expansion was so amazing because it doesn't just give you kind of one new way to play the game. It gives you three new game modules.
  • It's just so so tense.
