Quotes (from this video)

• Conquest of Pangaea. Very excited about this game, you know, taking control of this Pangaea as it's breaking up and these things moving around. It was a pretty bad game. Did not like it at all. Four out of 10.
• Crumble. This is a game that used every trope of adventurers. I think Lara Croft, Indiana Jones, and more are in this game sort of, you know, parodies of them. And you're trying to escape out of this this place before it falls apart. It's okay. 20 years later, not as good. Six out of 10.
• The Daedalus Sentence. I remember this very distinctly. What a huge box. This is before all boxes were huge in board gaming these days, but a big longer thin box, a big with these spinning wheels and you're in this prison and trying to escape. It was a cooperative game and it just wasn't that great, especially for how big it was. It was a much smaller game than that. Five out of 10.
• Disney Sidekicks. This is from Eric Lang and we were excited to see what this cooperative game would be, especially with Disney, but it's kind of a mess. It's way too complicated for the mass market. And at the same time it's also too hard and just not that particularly fun. Five out of 10.
• Elden Ring Limgrave, ah, I've been playing Elden Ring the video game a lot these days. Whenever I think about this board game I feel sad. This is just a first in a big series they did of this Elden Ring stuff. And it's just not very good. There's it this game doesn't need to be made into a board game, but uh I the more I think about it the less I like it. Five out of 10.
• Magical Athlete, another 9.5. They did a fantastic job. And in fact, I think Magical Athlete for me at this point is a 10. It just is an absolutely fantastic game. It has stood the test of time. It's so quick and simple. I've been tooting the horn of this game for you for years and now lots of people have a chance to play it and I'm really glad.
• Origin Story. Uh Origin Story, a wonderful trick taking game from Stonemaier Games where everyone has special abilities, superpowers. I like it a lot. The only reason it doesn't get a 10, 9.5, is I don't love the art for it, but still a great trick taking game.
