Quotes (from this video)
  • Money, the latest updated version of Reiner Knizia's game. I have my ups and downs with this game of about collecting money in groups of it, but this is an up for me. Seven out of 10.
  • King and Peasant, a very intriguing two-player game where you're playing cards and the peasants are trying to have a revolution and king's trying to quash that and it's just kind of like guess where the McGuffin is type situation, but I think it works really well. Eight out of 10.
  • And Light Speed Arena, this game is so good. This is the game apps were made for. You play the game, you take a picture with the app, and then it that tells you what happens. Spectacular game. Gets better all the time. I'm increasing my initial rating of a nine to a 9.5. Fantastic game.
  • That's it. Those are all the games I played one, five, 10, and 20 years ago. Thanks for watching. I'm Tom Vasel.
