Quotes (from this video)
  • Forbidden Stars is a great 4X game where you are the various factions from Warhammer 40k.
  • The game is beautiful. You have these tiles that have the different planets and whatnot on there. You've got these minis that are these beautiful spaceships and tanks and forces.
  • I love it. I think it's a fantastic game.
  • this game more than anything, I would say is probably a take that game with the card playing stuff.
  • it's a great civilization building game, but it would be a great civilization building game even if it wasn't Star Trek.
  • it's absolutely 4X because again you are exploring.
  • you are laying down warp lanes and you're actually laying down these like lanes that you do to travel to different planets and you're laying down the different planets and exploring them and then you're trying to take them over and build up your resources.
  • Twilight Imperium is my number one.
  • it's a grand epic space adventure. Again, you got a mountain of cards. You've got tons of plastic. I freaking love Twilight Imperium.
  • this is a show. It's like a movie. It's like a book.
