Quotes (from this video)
  • A frenetic 10-minute game from Queen.
  • This is one of the key games I have not played. This is the sixth one.
  • That's a cool name.
  • I felt it could have done a little better. Um, it's it's almost too slight for me.
  • I found it a little too fiddly, but as you can see, it's moving up in ranks.
  • So it it's kind of funny it took him so long to come out with an Axis and Allies World War I game.
  • I know I enjoyed it, but also it's 10 years ago, so it's hard to remember.
  • This is the prequel to Clue where you're going around trying to kill Dr. Lucky.
  • And I found it to be a lot of fun.
  • If you like He-Man, this really brings it out.
  • I've heard good things about this game, but I have never played it.
  • This game is very weird and unique but I like it.
  • This is one of the classic war games.
  • It's running a kind of like an engine building thing through the space station.
  • I liked it, but it has been a while.
  • This is the OG Fury of Dracula game.
  • I have never played Peanuckle. I know a little bit about it, but it's interesting to see this one kind of rated way here in the middle.
  • I find it very odd that they are they're basically the same game. I'm not sure why they have two separate entries.
  • Bidding to take Bowolf down a path has almost nothing to do with the theme.
  • I liked it fine.
  • I do like that you use the box and stuff as terrain.
  • This is kind of a holy grail for many people.
  • I'm not as big on the horror theme as many other people are, but I know people like this concept here of horror games running around.
  • Of the ones I talked about today, I think Masters of the Universe, the board game, um, is my favorite.
