Quotes (from this video)
  • Accidental heroes is upcoming crowdfunding.
  • Necroolds. Don't know if you ever heard of Necroles. It's basically a Play-Doh Morgan.
  • Pirates of the High Tease is already out and Good Kitties and Super Chunk I believe are coming to crafting soon.
  • Post curious has fantastic uh puzzle escape room games. Some of the best, not some of the best, the in my opinion the best out there. If you're looking for an escape room experience, they are absolutely fantastic.
  • Giant RPG, biggest RPG of all time they just did with um whatever it's called.
  • Ghostfire Gaming. They're more known for RPGs. Not on this side, on this side. Uh, Ghostfire Gaming is more known for RPGs, but they do have Aberation and Companion Quest. They do have a few board games as well.
  • Stellaris Infinite Legacy. I think it's finally coming, but it's been like 5 years. It's a It's one of those weird things about crowdfunding. At a certain point, you burn out your audience on how long they've been waiting for a thing that even when you deliver,
  • Kingdom of Monster, they definitely have burnt out their audience and still managed to be successful.
  • Lord of the Rings Ascension, which is basically Ascension, but with Lord of the Rings theming.
  • And uh my personal favorite is Mythic Mischief.
  • It's about an hour long video. Now I have to figure out whether I do a rapid fire shot through the hall or whether I actually leave me just talking for an hour and just rambling on and on and on.

Quotes (from this video)
  • I think the presentation of the game was, although I can understand it in terms of affordability for the publisher. I don't think it was the best format to display the game.
  • Sadly making it nearly unplayable.
  • ultimately you are at the mercy of the deck of cards.
  • So, I suppose the unique thing about this game is that your engine your your display of cards is of finite potency.
  • But I have to say despite there being a lot to explore here, I think this game was really handicapped by the way that the game scores.
  • The visuals, not talking about the iconography, is a little bit drab, you know, has a little bit of a sterile um look to it, but I don't think that hurts the game in any way.
  • Now, my main issue with this game, which um you know, it's a reoccurring theme for me because it's important factor of what I look for in games, is that this game is too long.
  • So, that is Argato. A huge pleasant surprise for me. I'd give this one probably a seven and a half, maybe even an eight out of 10. It is that enjoyable.
