Quotes (from this video)
- i feel like i am slightly embarrassed sometimes of my hobby of the board game hobby that's not something i'm proud of but it is something that's i think is true because ball games i feel have still a bad rap they have a bad connotation a lot of the time in the public zeitgeist
- board games can be such a wonderful effective hobbies especially if you're willing to go different places to buy board games the secondhand market we've spoke about this on matthew answers the internet many times ebay facebook groups thrift stores
- i do not believe ball games are a luxury hobby i think collecting games is a luxury hobby i think kickstarter is a luxury hobby i think backing 150 dungeon crawlers deluxe euros yes board games can be a luxury hobby but i think it's also probably the best value for money activity a family can possibly get into
- given the option between playing chess and playing nightmare chess i'm playing nightmare chess i mean just a hundred percent of the time every single time it's one of my favorite abstract games of all time
- sometimes the unbalanced part is the fun part the challenge the wackiness of it
