Quotes (from this video)
- A lot of fun.
- This is a push your luck game where you're like basically playing a slot machine where you're taking a card and you're deciding where it's going to go.
- I actually still love the gang and the only reason why I'm getting rid of it is because I just bought the new deluxe edition of the gang
- Really fun sort of kids game. Adults could play it too. It's fun. It's a light adult Halloween game.
- Dicey Peaks is a press your luck dice game where you'll be taking on one of these climbers and trying to get to the peak of the mountain.
- It's a great game that I reviewed last year.
- it's just very clever that you're all sort of playing cards together for the endgame goal.
- But then a successor to that came out called Skyrockets, which is even better than Kites because it's a similar game, but there's like 30 or so different scenarios that give you almost like they're all like different mini games.
- Wow, they really flesh things out. It's really fun. I love it.
