Quotes (from this video)
- this is where I take a look at the last five new to me board games that I've played and I rank and review them in order of preference
- if you wanted to go through the whole 10 phases then it's going to be you know that's a ludicrous decision I wouldn't recommend that at all
- all in all um I enjoyed the game I think it's a solid card game
- it is definitely more tailored towards uh more family friendly um maybe more people on the periphery of the hobby rather than being you know well embedded in it
- if you are going into this game with the mindset of yes I'm going to win it I'm going to do whatever I can to win it whether that be help you or hurt you or help me you're going to get a lot from this one
- I think there's just enough going on here to make it interesting
- it's lived up to those expectations and again another Contender for top 10 of the year for sure
