Quotes (from this video)
- Arelo the board game brings the same colorful world and compelling characters from the video game to life on the tabletop.
- It's not about being faster than the vampire is it it's about being faster than the person next to you.
- The description to me is tantalizing but also admittedly doesn't tell us too much about how to play this political card game but there's something about this one that's really got me interested.
- I split you choose mechanism it's criminally underrated.
- This is probably one of my top five gaming experiences of all time and I will 1,000% be getting this when it's out we just have to wait until 20125.

Quotes (from this video)
- 15 years ago, I can't believe it's been that long, the original King of Tokyo came out.
- So, this is what this is the big new mechanism in this game.
- King of Tokyo is a mainstay, should be in pretty much everyone's collection.
- It's still a lot of fun.
- I highly recommend that if you have King of Tokyo, play with this rule. It does make the game a lot better.
- I actually miss the translucent cubes for energy cuz they kind of look like energy.
- So, who is this for? Who's it not for?

Quotes (from this video)
- This game is pretty straightforward in the sense of how you play it; it's just combining a lot of good mechanisms and a lot of good drafting card drafting mechanisms to play the game.
- I think this game is going to hit for folks who do enjoy drafting but really enjoy the Marvel comic scene.
- visually and physically this game I think is very neat.
- I highly recommend that you don't play this online; it shines in person.
- the Mancala mechanism makes this game highly variable from game to game.
