Quotes (from this video)
- it's being sort of talked about like the Splendor killer.
- This is really gorgeous art. It looks really thoughtful, really um really beautifully crafted um with a similar sort of Splender style gameplay.
- you can't talk to each other about the cards you have.
- Specific player count games, are always very interesting to me because it's a big swing for a publisher to publish a threeplayeron game is a risk.
- Phantom Inc., full disclosure, is a game that I did work on. Uh, it is my favorite of the team-based party word games. I think it is a phenomenal game.
- So, it's a really neat push your luck game. What the really cool twist is if you have an odd number of fruit in your hand up to five, you can you must sell all of them.
- It's got dinos, so I think it's going to be a really good seller uh for um I think it's three three WS games.
- I have I have everything wingspan and it's too much. It's objectively too much.
- Hard. Not interested. Three boxes to play one game. No.
- Michelle and I have played Ma Jong every night for the last two weeks. It's been incredible.
- it's a meaningful game beyond just a surface level, right? So, it's very cool to see younger generations getting back into it to keep that tradition alive.
