Quotes (from this video)
- It is an excellent production. It is everything you've come to maybe know and love about Neuroshima Hex.
- Outstanding, man. I love this trick-T game that also includes set collection.
- Disappointing. This is basically Forbidden Island, the card game with too few spaces and a little too much swinginess.

Quotes (from this video)
- The visual effect is really good. It feels like a race game.
- It feels quick.
- You set up whatever racetrack you want and then you pick the different racers who are all slightly asymmetrical and go around the track.
- It's a silly little game. It's a fun theme.
- This game hurts my brain. It's so weird. It's so unusual.
- The penguin theme is obviously much more enjoyable.
