Quotes (from this video)
- In Lords of Worlds, you are a godlike being going to the shopping mall to buy pieces for your planet. And that's where the theme ends.
- Basically, it's an abstract game.
- My favorite thing about the game is the market refill rule.
- So, I like that. It's a light game, but I like the way it makes me think, and I just have fun while I play it.
- It's not a fantastic game. It's a good game. Chrome and Gizling has made some fantastic games. This is not one of their fantastic games, but it is a good game.
