Quotes (from this video)
- Things that interest me from a solo perspective and kind of lean into cozy, lightweight to midweight.
- I'm really there for the storytelling and I enjoy that part of it.
- So, there's going to be some very indepth experience I'm sure as I go on this journey with Darwin.
- And it seems like a very different, and I say this with when I say a weird sort of world. It's not an expected sort of thing.
- This is a narrative storytelling type of game, but it is also about kind of defending.
- The text is larger and I prefer that. So, I lose out on the flavor text and some of the information about the birds, but I can see the cards easier and they're clearer.
- But the play area was just visually there's a lot going on. There's a lot of iconography and unfortunately those are not really well defined in the rule book.
- And I feel like that was still a really good experience because sometimes losing at your favorite game does not diminish the fact that it's your favorite.
- And yes, that means that I am sort of auto succeeding at everything and moving forward, but it still gives a fun experience for me.
- And that's how I tailor that to work for myself sometimes.
- Cozy Stickerville.
- Mostly though it was drawn in by the art and just the idea of creating this cozy sort of daydream literally.
- Uh, this is a solo game that seemed interesting, but I one of the reasons why I just I I couldn't get a good idea of it with all the different motion that was going on in the crowdfunding page.
- I'm notorious for not doing that. But I am just enjoying this hobby at a very slow calm pace right now.
- I don't need to sit at my table for eight hours trying to fly through games and hurry up and learn rules so that I can be like, 'Yeah, look how much I did on this day.'
- I'm just enjoying the moments, enjoying the experience, and hopefully that will continue to be fun as I explore more and more games.

Quotes (from this video)
- I think this might be the best brass yet.
- it's not extremely heavy. I would say it's not one of Lord's heaviest games.
- the theme works so well that it adds to the gameplay for me.
- this is better than normal barrage like a normal four player even brush. The two-player one was really tight.
