Quotes (from this video)
  • allegory is a game that really did intrigue me actually a very stunning looking game actually I love the artwork in this one
  • there were too many negative cards in the game
  • I wanted to like this one I thought there were too many negative cards in the game
  • I thought that was a fantastic mechanism however I thought it was a bit hamstrung by the fact that the rest of the game was pretty light
  • the potential was off the charts with this one but the rest of the game just held it back
  • this was convoluted it was drawn out in a very long game for no reason you were constantly going bust often um you know without having made a single decision and it was just a frustrating mess of a game that I absolutely despised
  • hierarchy is a tiny little micro game by button shy
  • I remember it being at least a quality design
  • the online digital implementation of it is better than the physical card game
  • objectively this game is so clever it's very meticulously designed and if you like trick taking and you like co-op gameplay you're gonna love it
  • I've played this one over a hundred times I'm just completely warm out on this game
  • Village Green is a nice design, but the restrictions were a little bit debilitating
  • every single placement is important here
  • the fun part I thought decision wise there was almost nothing here
  • it's one of those games where you never go to calculate scoring it's just a fun activity
