Quotes (from this video)
  • Look Back, where I take a look at reviews that I did a year ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, and 20 years ago this week, and tell you what I think about them now.
  • This game was very much a Sudoku board game. I would play it a whole lot less today.
  • It's now impossible to find. It has not been reprinted for a lot of uh litigation reasons.
  • I think the second game in the Dice Tower Essentials line.
