Quotes (from this video)
  • This is a two-player trick taking game competitive this time, mixing it with the lane battler.
  • So, you're just as invested in win in losing as you are winning. But if you lose too much, you're not going to ever have enough power.
  • My number one is not joking a political uh themed game. It's also in a way a a war game, but it is card driven.
  • This is Twilight Struggle.
  • It is so smart. It is so strategic.
  • If you really want to play this well and have the best version of the game you can is is both players know both decks.
  • It's got a tug-of-war style to it. Has multiple victory conditions, which I also love.
