Quotes (from this video)
- reactive card play is because it feels so one-dimensional when you're playing a game that involves cards where all you do is play one card in your turn and then your opponent has no way to react
- it increases the level of strategy 10fold because then you have to think about timing.
- the reactive card play is definitely a lot more intuitive when it comes to combat games cuz not all games need that kind of reaction type

Quotes (from this video)
- it's just not exactly my cup of tea because this is a more kind of head-to-head waving on each other, dueling style game where you're trying to deplete each other's health points.
- I'm always quite impressed when games like this have a kind of an open system or a structure that allows you to really play with and kind of add your own ideas in and to make each character feel like their own character.
- the piggybacking system is so cool.
- the fun factor is completely off the chart. You know, 20 out of 10 in terms of how fun this game is.
