Quotes (from this video)
- I just got back from the UK Games Expo. I had a great time as always and I just wanted to make a quick video talking about all of the games that I acquired during the expo.
- The brig and buy was was great, but it was very chaotic and long long cues and longer than we've had before.
- So, definitely um was at capacity. Yeah, the brig and buy was was great, but it was very chaotic and long long cues and longer than we've had before.
- So, I definitely recommend going at least once if you have the faintest bit of interest.
- But for everybody else, I'll see you next time on Chairman of the Board. Bye-bye.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is where I take a look, rank, and review the last five new to me board games that I've played.
- I don't think there was enough for you to really take control of the game. The game kind of plays you more than you play the game.
- But I think the game became too messy in the process.
- I'm not quite sure what the unique selling point of this game is or what the standout mechanism is.
- But everything is blended together wonderfully.
- I've almost played so many euros now that it's a detriment. I played so many that everything's a comparison and everything feels like it's been done before.
- It feels definitely distinct to all the other little flip and right games I've played.
- The system is super innovative and it feels cool and different.
