Quotes (from this video)
- So, in the game, uh, regardless of your player count, you're going to draw four cards off the deck each round.
- Basically, what's going to happen is if they kill if one army kills anybody from the other army, it makes our lives more difficult because we don't actually want these guys to die.
- The game features four different We've only got two of the heroes out on the board, but the game features additional he Let me just throw that on. Uh, additional heroes as well.
- On your turn you're going to be rolling dice to basically meet requirements on the planet to pass that planet and then you can continue on
- You can only have two crystals in your supply and you can spend them to do special powers.
- Basically, you just stay here. What's your What's your What's your gem do? Uh, my gem lets me keep a green and then if you fail, I can restart my turn.
- This is the Sakura Slam edition. It's uh basically everything from the original polished and finessed into this brand new crazy version.
- This game features corners this time. Don't That's not you. That's me. It's my superpower. Good. This is your superpower.
- Basically, each turn, you're going to take your launching platform and you're going to pick one of the corners of the board to come into.
- This is like a super small box game.
- Players can see the score that you're on zero. Sorry. Don't worry about it.
- If you get it correct, um, there's a certain number of points based on your goal. If you get it wrong, you lose a point.
- So, the way the game is going to work, super easy. We're each going to reveal one of our cards on the table.
- The idea is that you build a three-letter word. Can't be abbreviations. Can't be a name. Can't be a short version or or whatever.
- And all we're trying to do is find that word first? Okay? And then the player with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
- This is a trick taking dice game.
- So, you have to guess how many tricks you're going to win based on the dice that you have, but you don't know what you've rolled yet because you rolled them each after each round.
- So, the scoring pad that tells you what happens with your bets. So, um, no one actually made their no one made their bet. So, no one's getting positive points.
- Basically, all the cards just stack into one deck. They fill up the whole thing.
- Whoever has the most will get four points. Whoever has the least will get negative two.
- All kinds of crazy stuff. So, it's definitely a like take that style, make connections, but there is some puzzle solving to try to be able to achieve these new ones as these come out throughout the course of the game.
- In this game, we will have some competitors and some modifiers, and we will secretly give one player the impostor card.
- It's more about the sales pitch afterwards than it is lying up front because now we're going to be like the reason I picked these two cards.
- This one you can claim. I mean, he literally should have been like, 'You guys won't believe my cards.'
- So, the other thing is we would play um eight rounds. Mhm. So, so the last round we would be rolling eight dice. If that zero bet is an 80 point, right?
- And so it's like, am I gonna spell, you know, I remember where the W is and the A and the R. Do I remember where that T is?
- I think I would be terrible at this because I don't have I don't see things in my mind.
- It's basically memory but spelling words.
